The Allen County Museum and the Lima Public Library
Wednesday, April 24, 2013
The second annual Take Five! event, Take 5: Take Two, featured a presentation and conversation with Julie Scordato (Columbus Metropolitan Library) and Shelly Casto (Wexner Center for the Arts) about the Columbus Learning Labs project inspired by Chicago Public Library’s YOUmedia 21st-century youth-powered learning lab.
Attendees also enjoyed an engaging discussion on Common Core State Standards and student/family engagement, an inspiring talk about collaboration and STEM from the museum perspective, the experiences of two ILMS National Medal finalists, and a welcome and introduction to the Allen County Museum and to the Children’s Garden. Attendees networked and discussed issues from trends in teen culture to creating “stickiness”, with youth advocates from all our fields – public libraries, school libraries, museums and arts.
