NWILS now has 3 sets of READ Poster CDs and they’re all in use. Those of you who attended JAMBOREE in May saw this in action, thanks to Tena H from Milford PL doing a demo. Tena is going to demo the CDs again at LAKESIDE LEARNING. (September 18-19, BTW) Our nighttime gig is going to feature digital photography things like the READ posters, digital photo frames, etc.
One important note from NWILS Board meeting. The board is very supportive of this purchase for us, but they’d like to see the CDs used in a different way. Their idea is that county library associations buy the CDs from us and actually take ownership of them. This would accomplish several things:
NWILS is credited for a pilot project by purchasing the CDs first—that’s the carrot—you have to see it to sell it!
A county association could buy a set from us; ideally, all libraries in a county would contribute toward the purchase
Easier to do “train the trainer” or any kind of training in using them when the discs “live” in a specific county
It becomes a collaborative model for county associations
It’s great PR and a brand new project to demonstrate—and boast about—to county supervisors
To encourage this idea--this blog post! We'll also talk more about this at LAKESIDE LEARNING's evening program. Chime in with any comments or questions here...
