This post by Leah Langby, the Library Development and Youth Services Coordinator for the IFLS Library System highlights some great content especially for youth folks!
The Ninth Annual Wild Wisconsin Winter Web Conference is coming soon. Fourteen webinars in two days, all recorded and captioned, all free to participants thanks to sponsorship from all 16 Wisconsin Library Systems and the DPI (with support from the Institute for Museum and Library Services)! While all the content is valuable and worth checking out, I wanted to draw your attention to four sessions that are especially relevant to youth services librarians.
Wednesday, January 27 at 9:00 am Opening Session: Libraries Lift Limits on Learners, with Wisconsin’s favorite pediatrician/librarian, Dr. Dipesh Navsaria. He’ll discuss the current role libraries play in helping people sort out misinformation, what they can do in the midst of a pandemic, and give suggestions for ways to engage a skeptical and scared public. Register here.
Thursday, January 28 at 9:00 am Introduction to Inclusive Marketing with Travis Smiley, Lansing, MI. He will discuss how libraries can remove barriers through library communications and messaging. Register here.
Thursday, January 28 at 1:00 pm Different Tries for Your Size: Finding the Right Teen Engagement Fit for You with Cat Mullens (Milwaukee), Emily Sanders (Williams Bay), and Alicia Woodland (Wisconsin Rapids). Librarians from three very different sizes of library will talk about their strategies to engage and build relationships with teens. You’ll come away with some great ideas! Register here.
Thursday, January 28 at 2:30 pm Staying True to Yourself in Times of Stress with Beck Tench (University of Washington). She’ll help us examine academic scholarship, ancient wisdom traditions, and personal creative practices for strategies to stay true to ourselves in times of stress. Register here.
