I’m so excited that IFLS will be hosting two webinars with the award-winning Katherine Schoofs, the Youth Services Librarian/Assistant at the Aram Public Library in Delevan, Wisconsin.  Katherine will be talking about program planning during COVID and share some great ideas about passive programs.  You can get a small sense of her sense of humor and general awesomeness by reading the descriptions for these webinars.  Everyone is welcome to attend, and these sessions will also be recorded and captioned for later use.
