I always appreciate a peek at the bigger picture, because it helps me evaluate what I&#8217;m doing and why at my own storytimes. <\/p>\n<p>I asked on Twitter if anyone else had written a similar description, and poked around a little at some of the other storytime blogs I follow, and came up with a starter list of overviews to share. If you know of others, please let me know and I will add them in. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.abbythelibrarian.com\/2011\/04\/look-back-at-spring-storytime.html\">A Look Back at Spring Storytime<\/a> from Abby at Abby (the) Librarian.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nikarella.wordpress.com\/2011\/04\/28\/how-i-rock-preschool-storytime-an-overview\/\">How I Rock Preschool Storytime: An Overview<\/a> from Nicole at Narrating Tales of Preschool Storytime.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sotomorrow.blogspot.com\/2011\/04\/preschool-storytime-overview.html\">Preschool Storytime Overview<\/a> from Anne at So Tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.librarynoise.com\/2011\/02\/introduction-to-baby-storytime.html\">Introduction to Baby Storytime<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.librarynoise.com\/2011\/03\/introduction-to-preschool-storytime.html\">Introduction to Preschool Storytime<\/a>, from Jennie at Library Noise. <\/p>\n<p>Katie at Storytime Secrets provides short descriptions of her <a href=\"http:\/\/storytimesecrets.blogspot.com\/p\/baby-lap-time.html\">Baby Lap Time<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/storytimesecrets.blogspot.com\/p\/family-story-time.html\">Family Story Time<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/storytimesecrets.blogspot.com\/p\/babytoddler-story-time.html\">Baby\/Toddler Story Time.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/laptimeandstorytime.blogspot.com\/2009\/06\/few-comments-about-laptime-program-size.html\">A Few Comments on Laptime Program Size<\/a> from Amy at Laptime and Storytime; this post also addresses room setup, registration, and philosophy.  <\/p>\n<p>Susan pointed me to a<a href=\"https:\/\/mail.lis.illinois.edu\/hypermail\/public\/pubyac\/25118.html\"> post she made on PUBYAC<\/a> last summer, about how she manages very large groups for her storytimes. <\/p>\n<p>You can also read about <a href=\"http:\/\/melissa.depperfamily.net\/blog\/?page_id=311\">my baby storytimes<\/a>, and some posts I wrote last year about my library&#8217;s storytime <a href=\"http:\/\/melissa.depperfamily.net\/blog\/?p=1263\">scheduling<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/melissa.depperfamily.net\/blog\/?p=1270 \">registration<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/melissa.depperfamily.net\/blog\/?p=1273\">philosophy<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/melissa.depperfamily.net\/blog\/?p=1274\">staff and training<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>For more storytime blogs, check out my updated <a href=\"http:\/\/melissa.depperfamily.net\/blog\/?page_id=519\">Storytime Resources<\/a> page! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week Abby at Abby (the) Librarian posted a great review of her spring storytime session.
