With the end of the IMLS grant on July 31 marking TALK a service of MCLS, we are working diligently to both promote the TALK: Text and Learn for Kindergarten service nationally and ensure subscribing libraries have all the tools needed to bring TALK to their communities.

Our first conference stop this fall is ARSL in Springfield, MA. Stop by exhibitor booth #41 to learn more about TALK or to say hello! TALK will also be part of the MCLS conference booths at MLA in October and ILF in November. If you are a current TALK library, we will have special swag waiting for you!

In addition, we recently updated the toolkits and promotional materials in the TALK Google drive and have expanded access to them on the TALK website. Per request from many libraries, we also added template links to newly designed materials in Canva! Check back often as we continue to add and update toolkit materials.

If you have any questions or would like a TALK demo, please reach out to us at talkhelp@mcls.org.

TALK was made possible by the Ypsilanti District Library in partnership with the Library of Michigan and the the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Learn more…
