  Inventory Issues and Breakthroughs
  Join the Conversation!

  How are you managing the flow of books in and out of your program? Are you swimming in donations you can’t use, or constantly scrambling to meet demand? Have you had a recent inventory breakthrough—like a new tracking system, storage solution, or partnership—that changed the game for your organization? What challenges are you still trying to solve?

  
  

  Hosted by Eileen Minogue from Book Fairies

  So once they have the books, then what?

  Supporting families in using your books

  Join Richard C. Owen Publishers and friends for an engaging webinar designed to explore resources available to the families receiving your books. The speakers are all current and former educators with a passion for literacy. They see the value in children receiving good books and have practical strategies and resources to support families in using your books.

  In this webinar you’ll:

  · Learn about our organization’s purpose: Helping parents, grandparents and caregivers explore practical and natural examples of using good books to support their child’s literacy journey.

  · Explore The Parent Guide, a small pamphlet, containing specific reading tips for parents and caregivers.

  · Take a closer look at The Literacy Gallery and the information it contains.

  We will close with an opportunity to ask questions.
