Bloom Where You’re Planted: Re-Energizing School & Public Library Programs

Join Van Meter School Librarian and Future Ready Librarians® spokesperson Shannon McClintock Miller and Van Meter Public Library Director Jonatha Basye as they share show how working together across school and public libraries can amplify impact – through shared themes, aligned messaging, collaborative programming, and relationship-building that benefits students, families, and the broader community.

Attendees will learn ideas for:
• Role-specific, low-lift ideas for spring and summer programming.
• Creative ways to reuse and refresh existing lessons, displays, and materials.
• Inspiration tied to current summer reading themes.
• Practical examples of school–public library collaboration that strengthen continuity from spring to summer to fall.
