Moving Forward Looking Back - Summer library initiatives
This summer we had a team of five summer students and they worked on the Moving Forward Looking Back initiatives. With lots of conversations, dialogues, reflections the students focused on four themes: Skill development via the summer experiential learning program, Partnerships created via book giveaways, Youth Summit event which involved hearing the voices of our youth, and let’s learn project management skills by viewing the book giveaway timeline and history. Based on these four themes the following seven brochures were created by our summer students.

In 2016 two technocrats at the Kenosha Public Library (KPL) decided to add a Snap Circuits kit to the collection. From there the collection has grown to include a 360fly, Cozmo robots, Amazon Echos, cake pans and more. With the addition of these items, programming and resources had to be dedicated to training patrons and staff on their use. KPL staff will discuss the growing pains of a Library of Things collection and how these items have been used to inspire creativity and learning and to keep generations curious about what's around the corner.
Ditching Dewey: A Survey of U.S. Public LibrariesRob Nunez
In the Spring of 2020, the UW-Milwaukee iSchool partnered with the Kenosha Public Library to conduct a survey of public libraries in the country that have dropped the Dewey Decimal System. Of the respondents, there is a clear message to why changing to another system is helpful to patrons. In this session, the speakers will present their findings, discuss the pros and cons to Dewey, and consider the alternatives used by other public libraries.
In an open discussion format, participants will gain valuable insights gleaned from Kelly Gallagher’s acclaimed book, Readicide. Are we killing reading in public schools? If so, how? What can we as educators do about it? How do we get students motivated and interested in reading? Come for this important reflective discussion about the current reality of reading in our schools and how we have the power to initiate change and support students to help them become readers.

16. Feedback from a participant
Bev Teske-Greene, Literacy Coordinator,
Samson Human Resources
“The presentation
was very
informative. I know
that I’m more
geared towards
literacy. I feel better
about using math as
well.”

17. Feedback from a participant
Teri Foureyes-Awasis, Numeracy Coordinator,
Miyo Wahkohtowin Education Authority
“ I really enjoyed it. I think this
information needs to be
addressed to the community.
What I learned is that if we want
our children to be good in
numeracy then we as a
community need to support it.
Example: Parents. We need to
strengthen the foundations of
math if we want our children to
excel. How can we build a house
if we don’t have a solid
foundation. We need support
from parents, community and
education.”
17
18. What I learned
“Today, I learned how important numeracy is
and I have an important role working with
young children 2-4 year olds. I knew it was
valuable, educating young children in all areas
of development. I learned so ways of
providing numeracy experiences. It was a
valuable presentation. After today, we will do
more on numeracy with our children.”
