I Can't Reach It: Shelving and Layout in the Children’s Department Online
The children served by youth services spaces/departments span a vast spectrum of developmental milestones. Presented by Jill Burket Ragase, this webinar will challenge staff who work with children to take a fresh look at their spaces with differing age groups- from infants through tweens in mind. Space allocation, shelving, displays, and even the placement of the reference and circulation desks all impact circulation and customer experience. Is your space functioning at its best at each point along the growth curve?
Following this webinar, attendees will be able to:
• Determine if their collection allocation and placement is maximized for youth patrons interest, demand, and convenience.
• Understand the impact of signage as a user experience and how to incorporate it effectively and efficiently in a space used by non-readers, emergent readers, and early readers.
• Orient their materials, shelving, and service points with young patrons in mind.
• Use space creatively.
We will tackle each topic with options for libraries with little to no budget, some budget, and big budgets for improvements. This interactive webinar will encourage you to share your departments best as we walk through ideas from libraries nationwide.
