Another year in the books! Thank you for spending part of your year with us here at the YSS Blog! 

Here's our 2025 by the numbers:

  • We shared 258 posts
  • The 2025 posts had over 30,000 views
  • Overall, this year we had 320,000 views of the blog
    • The YSS Blog has been going strong since 2010 so this number includes views of all our content across 3,704 posts 
  • We've had a total of 1,512,933 view over the life of the blog!
  • Two new contributors, and Katie Ganser and yours truly, Katie Alford
  • Marge Loch-Wouters stepped back from the blog after several years of amazing stewardship
    • The blog would not be what it is today without Marge's leadership and hard work - thank you, Marge!
But it's not all about the numbers, here are some highlights from our posts this year:
We check numerous sources to find out news to share with everyone working with youth in WI libraries: from the WLA newsletter; library system newsletters and Facebook pages; national blogs; wispublib; DPI, the CCBC; to folks sending us information and links throughout the year. We are grateful for the transparency and sharing that goes on among those in our profession! 

Shout out section! Thank you to all the following folks who took the time to write/create or share content for the blog this year:
  • Ashley Borman
  • Sam Jones
  • Kate Davis
  • Jeni Schomber
  • Peter Blenski
If you would like to contribute to the blog, we'd love to have you! You can write about a program you've done; opinion piece; how-to; spotlight on great library service; upcoming event of interest to youth folks state-wide or whatever you think people working in youth services in WI would like to read! Plus we're always looking for links of interest to share with youth library folks. Simply email the blog admin at yss.wla@gmail.com.

See you in 2026!
