Don't Go It Alone: How two libraries created a joint Teen Advisory Board 11-11:45
Have you ever thought of starting a Teen Advisory Board but were unsure of where to begin, or were afraid of the added workload or a lack of teen involvement? Our panelists will discuss how they developed a unique partnership that led to the creation of a joint Teen Advisory Board. They will discuss their application process, marketing, monthly meetings as well as what their group has accomplished so far.
Librarian Dreaming: Serving on a Book Award Committee 1:45-2:30
Ever wonder what it's like to serve on a youth book award committee? This panel will feature Wisconsin librarians currently serving on state and national youth book award committees who will share their experiences and offer information on how to be selected for an award committee, how to prepare for serving, and what the process is like. Q and A to follow.
College and Career Planning at the Library 1:45-2:30
Beginning in 2017-18, Wis. Stat. 115.28(59)(b) will require that school boards provide academic and career planning (ACP) services to all pupils in grades 6 to 12. Libraries are uniquely positioned to support ACP efforts. Join representatives from the Milwaukee Public Library and partner institutions to learn more about this legislation and discuss resources for infusing college and career planning into teen services at your library. Pilot programs featured will include career exploration workshops, teen internships, and job fairs.
Meeting the Challenge: Collection Development of Youth Materials 2:45-3:30
Should you buy a buzzed-about book if reviews point out serious shortcomings? How do you handle an award-winner that rubs you the wrong way? Are you uncertain after reading blog posts calling out books for racial insensitivity? Do worries about challenges make you hesitate with some titles or topics? This safe and instructive conversation will also explore the essential role intellectual freedom plays in the work you do every day. Library newbies and veterans welcome.
Books and Babies and Teens, Oh My! How Your Public Library Can Serve Teen Moms 4:30-5:15
