Subscriber ALERT - YSS Blog

This is a special message for all our readers who subscribed to our blog before August 1, 2021 and receive our blog through your email account.* 

We need you to re-subscribe under our new subscriber account within the next 7-10 days or you will no longer receive our blog via email.

Feedburner which has handled our subscriptions for the past 11 years is being shut down by Google very shortly. As of August 1, we replaced it with "follow.it" to handle subscribers.

Unfortunately, over the past decade and over the tenures of many wonderful blog administrators, we lost access to our subscriber base and so are unable to simply transfer our subscriber list to "follow.it" so you get uninterrupted access to the blog. Today we learned for certain that the subscriber list is not accessible to us.

So, subscribers, if you want to stay with us (and we hope you do), we need to ask you to do one quick thing:

Re-subscribe ASAP.* 

It's simple to re-subscribe. Head to our blog and scroll down the right side to the box that says "Get new posts by email." We've marked it for you in the picture to your right with a green arrow.

Enter your email and click "subscribe." Boom, you're all set!

We super apologize for this glitch and how last minute this is.  And we are super hopeful you will stick with us and re-subscribe to get all the great news, events, opinions, resources, columns and more that we offer daily, weekly and monthly to benefit youth librarians in WI.

*If you are not sure if you are a subscriber, you'll know if you receive an email each time we publish post with a subject line:  

"Youth Services Shout-Out: YSS Blog" sent to you by "noreply+feedproxy@google.com"

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out via email to the current blog administrator listed on our blog masthead. Thanks for your understanding.
