Librarian's Playground
Located in the Exhibit Hall. This year we are showcasing 2 Maker Librarians and 3 Maker Vendors who incorporate the Makerspace Concept into their curriculum. Join them as they share how their students Create, Connect, Collaborate and use Critical Thinking (4Cs). Check Sched, Conference website or the booth for times and topics. We will also have two "Make and Take" activities available at the booth all other open exhibit hall times. Both of these are simple and easy enough for you to take home and do with your students tomorrow!
