Date: Friday, February 4, 2011
Time: Noon to 1:30 p.m.
Presenters: Mike Galloway and John Ockerbloom
The February 4th teleconference, Free Content for Library Collections has been postponed due to weather. A snowstorm is headed for Chicago and this introduced the possibility that the presenters and program host could not fly in from Philadelphia and Florida.
Therefore, the decision was made to postpone the teleconference for later this winter or early spring of 2011. A past teleconference will air this Friday in its place (the specific program to be determined).

LE@D Course of the Month. Reaching Reluctant Readers. The term reluctant reader refers to young people who can read with some independence, but choose not to. Reluctant readers do not select books from the library easily. They may start many books, but rarely, if ever, finish one. They are not engaged with reading, they do not choose it as a leisure time activity, and they try to avoid it when it is expected of them in school or at home. There are a variety of reasons these students have a negative attitude towards reading, and with some form of motivation it is possible to get the student to re-engage with the process of reading. This course is prepaid and pre-approved for WVLC continuing education credit. Click here for instructions on how to register.
