Session IV -- DIY Book Club: Resources, Inspiration & Networking for Facilitators
Monday June 24, 2024 4:45pm - 5:45pm PDT
Cabrillo
Do you lead a Jewish book club or want to start one? Come hear about resources from the JBI, learn about models for parent-child book discussions, and get tips & tricks to enhance and promote your book club whether it's for adults, multi-generational, or for children. Plus we'll share our tried & true book club favorites and have the opportunity to inspire, support and network with each other.  

Livia Thompson will share JBI's book club initiatives, talk about what accessibility means in the context of visual impairment and print disabilities, and how to create an inclusive book group in response. We'll explore how to foster a space where people, many of whom feel very isolated, can find community and have fun. We will discuss materials that JBI can provide you and how to access them as well as the accessibility consulting services which make sure that your library materials are fully accessible.
