Jennifer Ilardi worked as a Youth Services Specialist/Librarian at a large public library for over 11 years. Her experience with organizing and implementing educational and engaging programs comes from years of designing, collaborating and presenting programs that promote a library collection. She holds a Master’s of Library and Information Science degree from Syracuse University and a post-graduate certificate in Youth Experience from the University of Maryland. In 2014, Jennifer began the organization Simple Positive Play and started providing access to playful resources in her parents’ driveway. Over the years this service has become a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that operates out of an office in Ferguson, MO and continues to collaborate with others to promote problem-solving skills and creativity.
Simply telling someone to start playing at their library can be overwhelming. In Simple Positive Play at the Library, Jennifer Ilardi breaks down how and why to support open-ended play in libraries by leveraging the power of community collaboration. With her advice you too can turn your library into a 'playground where young people can utilize what they know to explore their interests, ' as Ilardi puts it.--Noah Lenstra, associate professor of Library & Information Science at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and founder of Let's Move in Libraries
