Follow the Green Star

As you look through our course catalog you will notice a green star in the lower right hand corner of the course illustrations. This star indicates that this course is eligible as a free gift!

Login to your LE@D account. If you don't already have a LE@D account, create an account Go to the course catalog and select the course you want. Look for the green star to find courses that are eligible for this promotion Add the course to your shopping bag Apply the promotional code to pay for the class:
If the class is a $25 course, use the coupon code: IMLS-25 If the class is a $45 course, use the coupon code: IMLS-45

Continue through the checkout procedure

Restrictions: Like eating a piece of pumpkin pie at grandma's house, please limit yourself to one until everyone has had a chance to get some. If you register for more than one class with the coupon code, we will only process one of your selections.

Additional Discounts: As an added bonus, you may buy as many additional courses from our Library or School Library course catalog as you wish at a $10 discount (no Green Star required).

Book Programs for Babies


Thursday, August 25, 2:00pm EDT.

In those few moments when a baby relaxes and cuddles in your lap as you read them a book, a wonderful thing is happening—babies learn that books contain words, pictures, and stories that interest them.

You can start teaching early literacy skills to babies without them or their grownups even knowing that that’s what you are doing! Whether you are preparing programs for babies in your library or community center, teaching early literacy skills to daycare providers, or providing support to new parents in an outreach program, a few tips can make your work easier and more productive, as well as more fun and effective for the babies and their adults.

Kathy Kirchoefer has ten years' experiences shaking the "sillies" out of library staff at trainings and inspiring others to develop programs for babies and the grown-ups who love them. Kathy is also the author of Babies into Books, self-paced online course from LE@D.
