Sommario/riassunto

Because story times are essential components of library service to children and in such demand, in many libraries, even librarians who have never done story time before are being asked to step into that role. Story Time Success: A Practical Guide for Librarians is comprehensive handbook which can help any librarian learn to promote, plan, and perform story times even with no prior training or experience. Veterans and beginners alike will find many useful pointers for establishing and improving their story time skills and repertoires.
