**Virtual Openings for Fall & Winter** 
                                            
"Due to the rise in Delta and winter driving conditions, many libraries have been asking for virtual options for their Fall & Winter programming. 

With this, in addition to my in-person programs I have converted all my presentations to include a virtual option through Zoom, Skype, Facebook Live, Blue Jeans, etc...... or even a pre-recorded version as well. 

Many libraries are even taping the live video to make it accessible through their websites for those who couldn't attend the live broadcast and a pre-recorded option is available as well. 

I have included all the info for you below---just let me know what you pick. 

It is great to know that even in these strange times people still crave storytelling.

Keep an eye out,
