On August 26th from 10 - 11 am, I will be hosting an online webinar to talk about the new trunk lending program at the State Library. The trunks are ones that the State Library has helped create in the past so you will probably be familiar with the activities and content, but the lending process is new. The webinar is open and free to all, and the trunks will be available to anyone, not just libraries, so feel free to share with community partners as well. Please see the links below for more information:
