This program was good, but not specifically about bookmobiles by big takeaway from this program was its focus mostly on STEM in the form of discovery through interaction, inquiry, curiosity, and developing a child's sense of wonder, while encouraging and child to learn by exploring the world in which they live.

Let children ask questions- Ask what do you think? Don't answer everything for a child.
-Problem solve with children! Encourage children to think together and with adults to answer a question or solve a problem - We all get stumped, so let children discover on their own and use their own analytical skills.
Children ask "Why" all the time!- So let children think about answers to their questions. Help them develop their problem solving skills and critical thinking skills.
-Children are filled with wonder. Encourage this!
-Great book Recommendation for this type of exercise-
"All the World" by Scanlon
-Presenter emphasized the importance of following and using Early Learning Standards. She used Mississippi State Standards.
-Always incorporate learning standards into outreach and library services.
-Apply scientific method in programs and let children touch things. Don't be afraid of a mess!
-She suggested taking nature walks - Let children collect things. Again emphasizing exploration, curiosity and sense of wonder. Let kids talk. Let them tell you things, and don't lecture at them.
