Project Smyles: Outreach to Daycare Centers and Homes

Outreach to daycare centers is nothing new to public libraries.  We are all probably offering this service in some fashion.  Ames Public Library calls their successful program Project Smyles.  Presenter will be sharing all the nuts and bolts of our program that includes on-site story times, deposit collections, bookmobile and mascot visits and more.  Not a show-and-tell session - but a show-and-share session. Presenter will share all the forms that we developed to keep track of deposit collections and visits, evaluation tools, newsletters, letters to teachers, tips and tricks, and much more.  Attendees will leave with resources to adapt for immediate use in their library.
