<p class=MsoNormal>The Focus on Children and Young Adults Institute seeks to
provide a foundation of professional knowledge about youth services necessary
for the operation of small public libraries. Participants will attend
several training sessions over the course of three and a half
days. The sessions concentrate on the principles of public library
services to children and teens, and how to put those principles into
practice. Session topics may change from year to year based research,
library practices, and trends which change and improve
continually. Feedback from the previous Focus Institute participants
is also considered when planning session topics. Training sessions
are presented by highly skilled, experienced Youth Services Librarians in
Oregon. Presenters are typically active members of the Oregon Library
Association's <a href="http://www.olaweb.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId=61033">Children's
Services Division</a> (CSD) and <a
href="http://www.olaweb.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId=61034">Oregon Young Adult
Network</a> (OYAN).<span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
