“You Look A Little Young To Be In College”: Preschoolers And Academic Libraries, Amanda Black, Heidi Gauder

Heidi Gauder

Learn how one academic library facilitates learning at the pre-school level through targeted programming opportunities. Working with preschool teachers, this library developed age-appropriate activities for children to experience an academic library environment. The Ohio Early Learning and Development Standards were utilized in describing the learning outcomes associated with the activities. This poster will show how academic libraries can provide outreach to the community with fun learning experiences for the youngest of users.
