Empower Your Young Creators With Story Tools
BY STORY BOX LIBRARY
Your Creative Digital Toolkit
Story Tools is the creative toolkit for your community’s young creators.
Until January 31st, 2024, Story Box Library public library subscribers can try out Story Tools for free!
What does the program offer to nurture that creative spark in your community’s young writers, illustrators and creators?
- You’ll have lesson plans ready to go. These have been developed especially for the community library space, complementing the many programs, activities and workshops that are already offered. The flexibility of these plans means that libraries can adapt to use the resources in the ways that suit them the best.
- Build on those creator visits that are already being booked and held in your library. Having an author, poet, or illustrator come out to your library is a wonderful way to celebrate all things creative. Story Tools is a fantastic way to keep working with them in the digital space - whenever you need them!
- Part of the beauty of Story Tools is that it exposes your young creators to new genres, writers, illustrators and content, increasing engagement opportunities with your physical collections. Like you, we know that keeping kids reading (and returning to the library!) is essential, and Story Tools offers a fun, engaging way to do just that.
See for yourself the flexibility, quality and engagement that Story Tools brings to your library’s space. Try the program for free until the end of January 2024.
