MASA is pleased to announce the offering of periodic informational sessions with organizations and businesses that can provide valuable services to our members. These sessions will differ slightly from our normal Master Class offerings. The informational session's aim is for you to learn about a specific organization's services, offerings, or programs.
Informational Sessions
Informational Session: Library Speakers Consortium's BookBreak
We recently learned about BookBreak, a creative initiative from the Library Speakers Consortium to bring regular author events to elementary schools, which may be of interest to many of you. Each participating school would pay a small annual fee to access 2-3 interactive children's author events each month, live-streamed on a microsite custom-branded for each school. Pricing is based on the size of the school to make the program accessible for communities of all sizes across the state.
After meeting with Becky Brent, the Partnerships Manager, and listening to what she had to say, we invited Becky to share this information directly with our members. Increasing access to bestselling children's authors is a wonderful opportunity for students, and this is a way for you to consider doing that.
MASA will host two information sessions about the BookBreak program. The first will be held on Tuesday, March 14, from 9 - 10 am, and the second will be held Wednesday, March 22, from 10:30-11:30 am. You are welcome to invite other district/building leaders to join and bring any questions you might have. Please register for the event even if you cannot attend the session so additional information can be sent for your consideration.
Session Information
March 22 | 10:30 - 11:30 am | Zoom Registration
Please also note: There is a special 50% off pricing for schools that join before April 30, so this may be worth exploring sooner rather than later if it is of potential interest to you or other leaders in your district.
