Trends Impacting Young Adult Services – Call for Papers

An opportunity for those of you providing Young Adult Services.

The YALSA Midwinter Paper Presentation, an annual event sponsored by YALSA
past presidents, provides a venue to gather and explore a topic that impacts
the field of young adult librarianship. The YALSA Midwinter Paper Committee
will select one paper to be delivered at ALA Midwinter Meeting in Atlanta, GA,
January 20-24, 2017. The presenter will receive up to $1,500 to defray travel
and registration costs. The paper will be published in YALSA’s peer-reviewed
Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults. Paper proposals are due
June 1, 2016. For more information, visit

Youth Services Section

The Wisconsin Library Association's Youth Services Section (YSS) advocates for professional empowerment, collaboration, and innovative, inclusive, and intentional service. To that end, YSS provides a forum and resources for people in Wisconsin's libraries who share a commitment to serving children and young adults, their parents, caregivers, and teachers.

It is a vital, dynamic group whose interests focus on providing quality library service and encouraging literacy and library use. YSS members include public and school library staff, library trustees and library supporters who work together to benefit youth in Wisconsin.
