cu·ri·os·i·ty
(Noun) A strong desire to know or learn something

We are excited to announce a new librarian training program to promote curiosity, inquisitiveness, and investigation within your children’s programs with the goal of teaching children of all ages to ask questions, structure experiments, and discover answers.

The early learning meet-up will cover a short review about research design and how to apply these principles when working with young children to foster curiosity and learning. Attendees will also review professional development materials on integrating STEM (STREAM!) in to the 2020 Imagine Your Story theme and will have the opportunity for hands-on practice and role-playing. Upon completing the workshop, attendees will

• understand the importance of instilling curiosity in young children and how to encourage parents to participate in their children's learning
• be able to design simple age-appropriate experiments for young children based on related books and activities
• bring two fully designed Curiosity programs back to their libraries
