Upcoming Guys Read Event at Waupaca PL Gets Some Ink

In a great article from the Waupaca area, a dinner and Skyped-in appearance by David Lubar as well as a month-long focus on "Guys Read" at Waupaca Public Library gets some excellent exposure.

I especially like how much they wrote about the importance of boys and reading and how libraries fill that need with great books. Sue Abrahamson and Melissa Carollo gave great interviews.

Have you had a positive recent article boosting your WI youth library programs or services? Feel free to send me the link at marge@lacrosselibrary and we'll highlight it in the blog! The more we spread the good news about our work and what we do, the better our services will be.

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.
