Storytime as a Performance (Applied)

Storytime is so much more than a staff member reading a book to little ones. It is an opportunity to brand your store, bolster sales, generate goodwill, and capture new audiences. This session will unpack how to turn storytime into a bookselling event with introductory storytelling training, as well as ideas to drive sales and create a new revenue stream by monetizing the event.
