With the vast amount of titles published for children in 2018, it can be challenging to see the forest for the trees. Identifying new titles for use in programs, displays, teacher collections, and class visits can be challenging and time-consuming.

In this interactive 2-hour webinar program, Jill Burket Ragase will give you a variety of tools that you will be able to use to:

• Be up-to-date on recently released board books, picture books, chapter books, and nonfiction books for children
• Pair new items to create storytimes and other programs

This overview of must-have board, picture, and nonfiction books cover under-the-radar choices for programs and class visits, coverage of un-reviewed items, and suggestions for almost every facet of your collection. Program ideas, pairings, and an extensive bibliography are also included.
