Doing Good Together - an 2023 SLP Idea

Cole Zrostlik, Winding Rivers Library System consultant, recommends the Doing Good Together website. 

She writes: "In November, WRLS YS librarians welcomed MiaLisa Millares, executive director at Doing Good Together, a national, Twin Cities-based organization that empowers families to raise children who care and contribute, for a kindness-themed summer library program workshop. Please subscribe to the Doing Good Together newsletter and check out awesome resources, like book recommendations, service projects, printables, and more on the Doing Good Together website"

 

The goal of the organization is: "Doing Good Together™ (DGT) is a Minnesota-based national nonprofit that works to make volunteering and service, along with daily kindness, easy for every family. Our mission is unique and deeply layered. We provide tools to both families and organizations to help them raise compassionate, engaged children. Our innovative activities, resources, and support help make empathy and "giving back" a natural part of life's early lessons."

It's a great place to find projects, toolkits, book ideas  and program ideas that promote kids helping in the community.

Volunteers Needed for the 2019 WLA Conference!

This year’s WLA conference, Celebrating Every Story, promises to be an amazing opportunity for learning and sharing. It also offers an opportunity to be of service to your professional community. 

Volunteering at the conference is a fantastic way to network and meet new people, catch up with old friends as you see them, and get in touch with the workings of the conference. Many volunteers are needed in several areas. An hour or two of your time can make a significant difference!

We are in need of registration table volunteers, session room monitors, author signing tables and resume reviewers.

Available shifts can be found on the following Google spreadsheet.  Just look for the tabs at the bottom of the page to sign up in each area.

Don't miss out on the fun. Thank you for your support of WLA and all you do for libraries. See you in the Dells!

For questions or more information on volunteering, please contact the WLA Registration Chair.

Sincerely,

Beth Kucera- WLA Registration Chair
