MLA/DLACon2024

In Spring 2022, Delaware embarked on a pen pal program with Wellington City Libraries. With over 530 patrons enrolled, and more are being added each month, patrons can explore a new culture, make friends, and revive the art of letter writing. We'll talk you through the process from the very beginning, and cover details such as matching pen pals, safety, patron feedback, and ways to incorporate other library programs. This session is great for any library staff member or volunteer who may be interested in setting up their own international pen pal program, regardless of experience level.
