Evanced Solutions Offers Free, Educational Webinar to Librarians
Join the Discussion: Help boost early readers’ interest in reading through multi-media tools
INDIANAPOLIS – September 13, 2012 – Evanced Solutions, LLC, a leader in library technology solutions, announced today that they will be hosting a free, educational webinar entitled, “Empowering Young Readers,” on September 26 at 1 p.m. EST. Cathy Potter, a school librarian at Falmouth Elementary School in Falmouth, Maine, will share the creative tactics she’s implemented at her school to keep her young readers actively engaged in their book choices through technology.
“I have found that when young readers select their own books, they receive greater enjoyment from reading which encourages them to continue to read more frequently and increases their reading comprehension,” said Potter. “It is exciting to see how recent advances in technology can be used to connect students with books and how these tools can help students engage with the books they’ve read and share their love of books with others.”
Along with Cathy’s presentation, Evanced will also demonstrate its newest product, Peek-A-Book—a web-based, book trailer database that helps libraries feature specific books on their website and blog that helps young readers take a “peek” at their library’s picture book collection.
With Peek-A-Book, young readers can explore hundreds of titles online by watching an animated preview of each book. Then with a click of a button, they can check out the print versions to pick up at the library or download the e-book directly to their home computer or mobile reading device.
The “Empowering Young Readers” webinar will be the first of a series of free, educational webinars that Evanced will be offering to librarians. It is recommended for children’s and school librarians, as well as reading teachers. The webinar can be accessed by visiting the following link: http://evancedsolutions.com/peek-a-book/
