Just a heads up we will not be able to stream or record the readings because of copyright laws. When you get the books I’d like to set down and plan activities around each book.

We can stream/record if the book reading ties into educational/learning activities, as in a classroom, and not just reading the story itself. But I also don’t see need to.
And yes! I’ll let you know when they arrive. I’m so excited! Thank you for your help!

Art Partners got in trouble for this. That’s why I brought it up.

Oh, you might have fun with the Queens Tea at the Renaissance Fair.
Kids sit down under a shade fly and are handed a honey tea and biscuits while the queen and ladies in waiting read large picture books.

Sounds fun. We have some supplies in room 3 closet. Pencils, crayons, paints and glue are all in there to use.

Curious, what day of the week, and time would this be happening? And how frequently?
And is it open to any kids, or members only children?
TBD. I would think days/times when school is not in session. Once a month or two seems reasonable/doable. Members’ children only would be fine, but opening it up at least occasionally contributes to community involvement/outreach, and with limited space available.

@Malissa @ladeana For members’ children only sessions, would it be set up like a regular class? And for open sessions–that would still need signup, I assume–would it be an event?

Reading books to kids is super fun. I remember going to the library for similar events as a kid. I love reading to the grandkids. Jenisa used to have me read grandpa’s ghost stories all the time.

My kids’ favorite was when their grandpa would read them “The Stinky Cheese Man.”

I think setting up as a class is best so you know how many families to prepare for.
ScrapKC has a YouTube channel where they make with the scraps they have excess of at the store. https://youtube.com/channel/UCTWE9gcrW2yqdGdihnO1l7w

We could do classless for either.

@David That’s one of my kiddos’ favorites! Before them, I used to always read it to my nephews and nieces.

Wouldn’t it be important for IRS reporting to have a record of attendance?

Our library back home had a little stage and they did puppet shows and read books. Also, my grandma was one of the librarians which was extra nice.

An estimate is good enough when reporting as long as it’s stated to be an estimate.
From i990 instructions:
“Description of program services. For each program
service reported, include the following.
• Describe program service accomplishments through specific
measurements such as clients served, days of care provided,
number of sessions or events held, or publications issued.
• Describe the activity’s objective, for both this time period and
the longer-term goal, if the output is intangible, such as in a
research activity.
• Give reasonable estimates for any statistical information if
exact figures aren’t readily available. Indicate that this
information is estimated.”

I would rather have the information in wild apricot than count on a volunteer to track and record it. I know all volunteering hours are not being reported currently and I’m guilty of that.
