[yscon] Summer Reading Workshops

Thu Jan 18 08:56:04 PST 2018

Oh, no! Somehow I missed this email, as well. I'm sorry.  My response is really late.  Feel free to contact me directly next time.  Our August was kind of crazy here.  We were down two staff members, and the month was a blur.

I have worked with Will Stuck multiple times.  He is FANTASTIC!  He gets amazing reviews, and everyone loves him.  He's funny, and he really knows his stuff.  He comes well-prepared, and he's easy to work with. He's also flexible and adjusts on the fly to the needs of the group, not to mention that he's responsive to feedback and constructive criticism (not that I had any major complaints-I didn't).

This is probably too late, but I'd be happy to provide more feedback, if needed. I would hire him again anytime. In fact, it is likely that I will hire him again in future years. We just try to not have the same presenter two years in a row, for the purposes of variety.

Honestly, I think Missouri staff wouldn't mind if he presented the workshops every year, because they really love him.

I'm late getting back to you about Will Stuck.

He was at my Performers Showcase last fall. I thought he was wonderful. Very professional. He showed up on time and was prepared. I recommend him.

I have invited him to my Performers Showcase this September. I'll take notes and ask my librarians what they think and report back.

I also received an email from him. I don't know either - the librarians on our summer reading committee do all the workshops ourselves. We used to hire someone but it's just easier for us to do it.

Just curious if anyone has worked with Will and what the quality of his programming is?  His website does display Arkansas and Missouri State Libraries as clients.

Greetings,

My name is Will Stuck and I am writing you today in regards to summer reading workshops. As a children's librarian for twenty years I found that attending a state library provided summer reading workshop was a great way to generate ideas and motivation. During that time, I was fortunate enough to be asked by the Missouri State Library to present those workshops on five occasions.

As of this past June, I am no longer a children's librarian but a professional speaker and entertainer. I speak at staff trainings, perform summer reading and other library shows and am still being asked to present workshops, both library related and non-library.

If your state offers summer reading workshops or other programming related workshops for the librarians in your area, I would love the opportunity to submit a bid or RFP to present. While I plan on launching a new website later this fall, my current site does contain a list of clients, a testimonial video and images from previous events. www.willstuck.com<https://protect2.fireeye.com/url?k=106d7b1e17dd0a96.106d7b1e-e2639b48af06d5d1&u=http://www.willstuck.com>

Thank you for your time and I have a great day,
Will Stuck
