Description
Summary:This is the story of how a small seed planted in 2019 with a single short video grew into a veritable garden of virtual video collaborations between KidVision and the Nova Southeastern University (NSU) Alvin Sherman Library. For more than ten years, Penny Bernath, education director and host of South Florida PBS KidVision Pre-K, has partnered with the Alvin Sherman Library, a unique joint-use library serving the Broward County community as well as the students, faculty, and staff of NSU.Affectionately known as Miss Penny by children in the South Florida community, she has been a special guest at storytimes for the library’s special events, including Summer Reading, trick-or-treat storytime, Jumpstart Read for the Record, and the library’s signature annual literacy festival StoryFest! These projects provided rich soil when it came time to plant the next crop of collaborations—online programming.
