Meaningful Making: Bridging STEM & Teen Programming
Libraries are striving to provide teens with programming opportunities that allow them to learn & collaborate with peers. One facet of programming that libraries are implementing are STEM Maker activities. We have developed a set of easy to follow program guides freely available online to support librarians to implement these activities. In this workshop, attendees will participate in Maker activities and experience fun & cost-effective possibilities for STEM-oriented Making in the library.

Yoga Storytime: Talk, Sing, Read, Write, Play & Namaste
In an effort to stay connected with early learners and their caring adults during storytime breaks, Salt Lake County Library’s South Jordan Branch identified a simple alternative: Yoga storytime. The program quickly gained popularity among South Jordan patrons, as well as at other County Library branches. Learn the implementation steps involved, lessons learned, and how to adapt and incorporate these ideas at your libraries.

Assessing the Value of E-Books Purchased through Demand-Driven Acquisitions
Libraries rely heavily on demand-driven acquisitions to purchase e-books that are of immediate value to their patrons. Library administrators, collection managers, and anyone involved in providing access to e-books should know how well their DDA program is meeting patron needs. This poster presents a brief analysis of four years of data on the USU Library’s DDA purchases, showing the insights that can be gathered on the quantity, cost, and use of DDA e-books across broad disciplinary categories.
