Congratulations!  You have survived another summer library program!   Well done you!   

Take a breath and consider running for a leadership role in your Youth Services Section on the YSS board.  We have 2 Directors-at-Large positions and the Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect position open for our fall 2022 ballot.

This volunteer board opportunity offers so many benefits! You will:

• Network with peer youth library staffers from around the state.

• Help create continuing education opportunities for Youth Services people.   

• Enjoy the camaraderie of a wonderful group of like-minded professionals. 

• Rub elbows with fantastic authors, illustrators, and smart people! 

• No experience necessary,  a Director-at-Large position is a great way to begin! 

And you can fit your board work easily into your schedule. Typically the board meets via Zoom monthly during the school year. Between times, tasks are divided among the board members and everyone pitches in a bit to help make the fun happen!
