Spring 2020 has been a series of pivots and pauses for public library youth services...and perhaps uncovered a wealth of new and unexpected creative and problem-solving skills for you!  Join us and continue to plan confidently for Summer and Fall with an abundance of ideas, programs and attitudes in this free one hour webinar. System youth services consultants (Shawn Brommer, Angela Meyers & Marge Loch-Wouters) and DPI staff (Tessa Michaelson Schmidt) invite you to be part of this positive, simplified, and intentional approach to youth services for the coming months.  
Guidelines for Reopening Wisconsin Public Librarieshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1WGOEwVSGLQnHLMFSBkt0wrRDp1bL5zG0UMoTUkSadEo/edit
Created in collaboration with staff and members from all 16 public library systems, DPI released the latest iteration of the Guidelines for Reopening Wisconsin Public Libraries. This newest version addresses the changes brought forth by Wisconsin Supreme Court decision to strike down the Safer at Home extension. No longer aligned with the Badger Bounce Back plan, this final document emphasizes decision-making based on conditions at the local level. 
The following resources were curated by Anne Hamland at the Wisconsin Valley Library Service.
    • Resources for talking to children about race and anti-racism. 
    • A remix of Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X. Kendi (below)
    • A great compliment to listening to authors Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi on "Teaching Racism to a New Generation."
    • A resource for all ages with a new way to learn about racism and antiracism.
    • Please also explore: Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X. Kendi
Take good care,
