A strong start to the school year begins with connection. In this webinar, award-winning teacher-librarian Shannon McClintock Miller will share practical ideas to help librarians get their programs, spaces, and outreach ready for back-to-school and beyond.

From refreshing your library and updating your digital presence to building relationships with teachers, administrators, families, and community partners, this session will focus on simple ways to make your library visible, welcoming, and ready to support student success from day one.

You’ll learn how to:
