    Call for Comments on YALSA’s Draft Teen Services Evaluation Tool

     

    Deadline: November 15, 2010

     

    Background:

    In the fall of 2009 YALSA’s Board of Directors established a task force to develop an assessment tool primarily for library administrators and teen services librarians to use in order to evaluate an individual institution’s overall level of success in providing library services to teens.  The vision is for the document to complement YALSA’s newly updated “Competencies for Librarians Serving Youth.” The task force submitted a draft to the YALSA Board in June 2010 and made refinements based on feedback.

    Dream Big—READ!

    2012 Collaborative Summer Library Program

  • CSLP Sponsors National Teen Video Competition - Posted Friday, September 3, 2010

     

    CSLP is taking a new approach to involve all teens in summer reading at public libraries.

     

    Teens across the country will be invited to create a 30 second to 3 minute video using the 2011 teen slogan “You are Here” in combination with reading and libraries. The idea is to involve teens in summer reading, before and during the summer months, by being part of the process and have a chance to be creative and have their ideas heard.

     

    A public library program:

    Each teen video will be associated with a local public library (where no local library exists the association can be with the regional or state public library agency). This is a perfect opportunity to start a teen video group in a local public library and/or for the public library to promote the video competition to school, teen centers, and individual teens with an interest in creating videos.
