Get a jump start on plans for your summer reading program!  The 2024 Virtual Performers Showcase, presented by the WLA Youth Services Section, will connect performers with members of the Wisconsin library community through live virtual demonstrations and marketing materials offered by magicians, puppeteers, storytellers, musicians, and anyone who presents library programs for children, youth, teen, and family audiences.   

This Zoom event will give you the chance to:

  • Sample performances from a variety of library performers who offer entertaining and educational public programs for children, teens, and families.   Our planning committee has worked hard to find a WHOLE NEW set of performers for this year’s event!
  • Interact with performers in live Q & A sessions after each demonstration.
  • Communicate with other attendees through the conference app - a great way to connect with other libraries that may be interested in partnering with you to bring a performer to your area.

A digital directory of performers will be made available to attendees for future reference. Can’t attend the live virtual event? A recording of the showcase will be available to registered attendees for 60 days after the event.
