Project Overview

The Vetted Programs were created by request from SELCO public library directors and intended to involve less library staff time dedicated to individual programming plans. Library staff expressed a desire for a simple, turnkey program approach that they could easily implement and manage for their communities. SELCO and the Vetting Committee maintain a catalog of performers on contract with SELCO to provide their services. Laura offers multiple programs, including a storytime with sound effects and actions, a poetry session with reading and writing poems, and several other programs geared toward getting children or adults reading and writing and learning how to share this artform with others in their community.
