    Program Description:


    Join Teacher Librarian Jean Kilker to learn about her Voracious Readers program model and how to facilitate a similar program at your library! Through the Voracious Readers program, teen students read titles set in different countries, joined virtual discussions, and then came to the library to watch movies based on the books, discuss the differences, and sample food from the countries featured. The program is customizable in many ways and can be adapted to different reading levels, age groups, and genres. Participants will also learn how to utilize the Arizona Humanities grants that funded this program from Samantha Anderson, Senior Grants Manager, and Julianne Cheng, Programs Manager!
