Before COVID-19, she focused her outreach efforts on inclusivity and accessibility to literacy programs and resources for low-income and unhoused families. When Phoenix Public Libraries closed to the public, the Early Literacy Outreach Team (ELOT) sprang into action researching and developing a wide range of virtual programs, both pre-recorded and live. Rebecca and her ELOT colleagues earned a Service Excellence Award from the City of Phoenix for their creativity and efficacy adapting library programs for online patrons. While every member of ELOT, and a number of Phoenix Public Library branch staff, brought their own strengths to virtual storytimes, Rebecca discovered a particular knack for engaging audiences in her low-key, soothing style. She is passionate about equity, inclusivity, and access to library resources, and believes virtual storytimes can truly make a difference in every community.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rlpg\/Galleys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50497608286482,"sku":"9781538158500","price":82.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_e5da025c-80ff-46f2-a67b-f488c79aaf00.jpg?v=1730714791","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/virtual-storytimes-a-practical-guide-for-librarians-9781538158500","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
