CANCELLED Life Skills at the Library: It's All About the Basics

Mastering life skills such as financial management, career development, cooking, and self-care are all important for young and emerging adults. Learning the ins and outs of adulthood is not easy and teens sometimes need a little extra help figuring things out. Libraries are the perfect place to connect with teens and teach them the essential skills they need to become adults. Join Kimberli Buckley, librarian, instructor, and author, as she talks about her journey of planning life skills programs for teens and the importance of providing these programs in the library. She will also offer many ideas for hands-on activities and personal anecdotes from her newly released book Teaching Life Skills at the Library.
