Hello All, Check out these valuable youth services resources and reminders! STARnet Webinar Series: Book Drop in Your Library - Join STAR Net and Twin Cities PBS for Book Drop, an exciting new children’s series that blends storytelling, animation, and real-world STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) to engage curious minds ages 4–8. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the series is designed to ignite a passion for problem-solving and scientific thinking through the power of books and imagination.
- This online workshop will be offered three different times over the summer (you only need to register for one). Participants will learn best practices on engaging youth in STEM through watching media and doing hands-on activities in their library programs.

ALSC and YALSA to Become One ALA Division - Two youth-related divisions of the American Library Association, which originated as one association in 1941 but have been separate entities since 1957, have announced plans to reunify. The Young Adult Library Services Association, dedicated to serving teens, will be dissolved and its membership activities merged with the Association of Library Service to Children.
By the Numbers: Summer Reading - Check out this interesting article from American Libraries journal on how libraries keep the page turning during the summer months. Our Wisconsin libraries do all of this and more!
I will be out of the office the week of June 16th, Jeni Schomber
