We
are considering ways to promote the books by the author coming to the YSS
Luncheon (Bill Konigsburg) and to promote the winners of the Burr/Worzolla
Children’s Book Award, with some virtual stuff before the conference and/or
in-person discussions at the conference.
·
WLA
Pre-Conference Committee report/update

Terry,
Tessa and Kelsey are working on an outline for the preconference.
·
They
are thinking of using a “TED” talk format for the presentations, followed by
discussion and a take away activity.
·
82
librarians responded to the survey and the top three most requested topics
included programming, embedded librarians and partnerships.
·
Similar
to the Teen Pre Conference, there would be a passive program display during the
snack break. The CCBC will also have a
display for school aged children.
·
The
price has not currently been set for the preconference. WLA recommended the 100% increase for
nonmembers. So if the cost is $20 for members it would be $40 for
nonmembers.
WLA
Board Rep discussion
·
Leah
mentioned that there have been a few things related to the system redesign
process that have made her concerned that youth services issues still have the
potential to be forgotten and we need to consider this when thinking about
changing the way the WLA board representation is handled.
·
General
discussion regarding possible board representative nominees was held.
·
Marge
reminded everyone that she is planning on completing her term as board rep and
that this subject doesn’t need to be decided immediately; we have three years
to think it over and decide if and how we wanted to change the way the Board
Rep position works.
·
There
was some general discussion regarding the position and how it might be changed
and who the stakeholders are. Marge
suggested that this be a discussion at a board retreat.
·
This
discussion was tabled until the next meeting. This will be an ongoing topic of
discussion, but may not be discussed at every monthly meeting.
·
Discussion
was added to the September agenda.
