Overview of today

Hello!

We had an amazing first day of our pilot training! It is very rewarding after a year of work of planning to see it all come together.

Of our planning group, each library was able to bring two participants to experience the training and provide feedback. Libraries in attendance: LA County, Butte County, El Dorado County, San Jose Public, San Francisco, Contra Costa County, and Rancho! All in all about 24 participants along with Suzanne Flint and the Brazelton Touchpoints Center Crew.

Over the next three days we'll be working with our group to cover Touchpoints Principles and Guidelines, how this fits into the library field or work, and of course how to improve our training.

The overall plan, at this time as I understand it, is that this training will be continue to be tested over the next year at our participating pilot libraries and then eventually the state (or the world). So I don't want to give too much away!

We definitely had a whirlwind of information, jam packed with insight, ideas, and experiences!


  • way to interact with patrons empathetic
  • lot of things we do re things we do with families now and storytime
  • build on talents we have
  • model to parents, work together, tips
  • developmental tips, utilize with families
  • long process (not a prescription)
