Children’s literature can be used to engage <strong>and</strong><br />

energize library staff to think more creatively,<br />

work more collaboratively, <strong>and</strong> build a positive<br />

work environment. Creativity helps us proactively<br />

manage change. Activities based on specific<br />

elements in children’s literature can assist staff<br />

to think divergently <strong>and</strong> solve problems <strong>and</strong><br />

challenges in innovative ways. Participants will<br />

learn definitions <strong>and</strong> essential concepts of<br />

creativity <strong>and</strong> why it is important in the workplace.<br />

Emphasis will be on process, tips, <strong>and</strong> ideas that<br />

can be applied in the library environment.<br />

Participants will also discover how to avoid<br />

creativity blocks.<br />
