Supporting Child Care Providers & Maximizing Maker Efforts

Tessa Michaelson Schmidt, from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, wrote a post for the Wisconsin Libraries for Everyone blog regarding two distinct national projects with resources to help us and our community:

• The Growing Providers Tool Kit includes lots of ideas and program models for how libraries can support child care. It also includes a Child Care Provider Resource Guide. 
• Opportunities and Vignettes for Library Makerspaces is a white paper informed by the participants of the National Forum on Research and Assessment in Library Makerspaces.

​Both projects have recently published the results, and Tessa feels the content is high-quality and valuable. Regardless of the size of your library or scope of service, she hopes you will consider these tools. ​
