November is Family Literacy Month



November is Family Literacy Month both nationally and here in Massachusetts. If you are conducting family programs this month, please let Shelley know so the MBLC can post this information on their portal site http://libraries.state.ma.us/.
This is a terrific opportunity for everyone to get good publicity and help raise awareness about how libraries support literacy and offer many family programs across the Commonwealth!  Let Shelley know what your library is offering.

November is Family Literacy Month



One of the exciting new features of ReadsinMA Online Reading Program is the Import/Export Feature.  Now one librarian can create a specialized online reading program and share the code with all participating libraries.  Creating a program can sometimes take hours upon hours but importing a program takes less than a minute!

Complete information on our ReadsinMA program is posted on our ReadsinMA Librarian Information & Sharing Blog

This grant funded software program is available free-of-charge to every public library in the commonwealth (and to 6 school libraries in each region).  For additional information on this program, contact Janet Eckert, WMRLS. 

www.ReadsinMA.org is supported by your local library, the Massachusetts Regional Library Systems, and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, with funding from the Institute of Museums and Library Services, an independent federal agency that grows and sustains a Nation of Learners because lifelong learning is critical to success.
