ConnectedLib: Helping Librarians Use Digital Media to Make Learning Connections with Youth
Project ConnectedLib aims to build public librarians’ capacity to incorporate digital media into their work with youth to promote connections across their learning contexts. We have developed a free professional development toolkit in the form of learning modules that support librarians from a broad range of public libraries in their efforts to leverage new media technologies and promote youth’s connected learning experiences in libraries. We are excited to disseminate the toolkit widely to libraries serving diverse youth across the country.
