Looking for some new programming ideas for your library, or wanting to learn more about a topic yourself? The Colorado State Library has Resource Kits you can borrow with everything you need to hold a uke-in, a toddler story time, learn about fossils, archaeology, or important community concerns, or practice a craft like book folding. Visit the CSL Resource Kits website to learn more about the kits currently available. There is even a forum where you can share your programming questions and ideas with other librarians.
Staff in Colorado libraries may check out kits through the CSL AspenCat Catalog for 2 months at a time and may renew if there is not a hold on that kit. The kits are not available for loan to out-of-state libraries or organizations other than libraries at this time. Contact KitSupport@coloradovirtuallibrary.org (303-866-6700) with questions.
Kits currently available are:
- May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month - May 24, 2023
- April is Earth Month – How Well Do You Know Our Amazing Planet? - April 10, 2023
- Book Club – Inside and Out - March 12, 2023
