The Mahoney Children's Workshops are intended to provide convenient, low-cost, high quality professional development experiences for youth librarians in regions of Michigan where these opportunities are not readily available. The workshops are made possible through the support of the Alice C. Mahoney Fund administered by the Library of Michigan Foundation.
There will be a special Mahoney Workshop event at Rural Libraries Conference 2012. Saroj Ghoting will present as a keynote speaker as well as conduct a break-out session.

2009 Mahoney Children's Workshop - Connecting Boys with Books: A Day with Michael Sullivan
In this stimulating and timely program, librarian, educator, and author
Michael Sullivan provided tools to overcome the many challenges that
essentially program boys out of reading and using the library.
Attendees learned effective ways to attract boys to library programs
in the “tween” years and to enhance their interest in books and reading
over their lifetimes. Sullivan’s practical and proven programming builds
on the unique developmental needs and interests of boys in middle stage
years, including reaching out with stories that resonate, encouraging
independent reading, and talking about books in ways that entice boys.
