July is Lakes Appreciation Month! Join us Thursday, March 23rd from noon – 1 pm (Eastern Time) for a free, virtual information session to learn about our exciting Libraries Love Lakes initiative, an outreach project pairing libraries with lake scientists to provide collaborative programming emphasizing the importance of lakes in our everyday lives.

The librarieslovelakes.org website is a toolkit of online resources for community members and library professionals to plan and host lake-focused outreach events (virtual or in person!) for kids and library patrons during the July Lakes Appreciation Month. During the Info Session, we’ll share online resources, including:

• favorite story time children’s books about lakes, water and wildlife
• fun and easy arts & craft activities
• watershed education information for library patrons
• event flyers to promote your Libraries Love Lakes event
• how to connect with water quality partners in your community
• and time for Q&A

We hope you will join us to celebrate the importance of lakes with a Libraries Love Lakes program in your community for the July 2023 Lakes Appreciation Month. The info session is free and open to librarians, lake scientists, lake conservation organizations, and community outreach educators. Registration is required to receive the Zoom meeting link, sign up today for the March 23^rd info session.
