Teen Programming: A Mover & Shaker’s Recipe for Impact and Success
Tuesday, September 20, 2016  / 12 pm Pacific / 1 hour
Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/teen-programming.html< http:/www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/teen-programming.html>

When "Change Agent" Courtney Saldana was featured as a 2016 Library Journal Mover & Shaker, we were treated to a sampling of her outstanding work with teens, and knew that all libraries could benefit from hearing more. Learn about her teen programming basics along with practical and actionable steps for doing a teen needs assessment, creating a teen space and hosting a teen book fest. Courtney will also introduce us to Skills for Teen Parenting (STeP), a program connecting teens with what they need to succeed as adults and parents: how to interview successfully, dress professionally, deal with conflict and time management, care for their child, postpone or prevent a second pregnancy, and more. Expanding from local success to state-wide implementation, the STeP program embodies a wonderful example of the replicable innovation brought to the field by Movers & Shakers.

This webinar is part of a series highlighting the work of recent LJ Movers & Shakers<http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2016/03/people/movers-shakers-2016/movers-shakers-2016/> and is hosted in collaboration with Library Journal<http://lj.libraryjournal.com/>.

Presented by: Courtney Saldana, Youth Services Supervising Librarian, Ontario City Library (CA)

How Successful Libraries Thrive in Uncertain Times
Wednesday, October 12, 2016  / 12 pm Pacific / 1 hour
Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/how-successful-libraries-thrive-in-uncertain-times.html

Have you noticed that some libraries manage to thrive even when times are tough and things are going against them? We would all love to know how to pave the way for future success in a world that seems to change by the hour. Successful libraries don’t have a crystal ball but they do share five characteristics that encourage positive results, regardless of what the world throws their way. Learn how to activate these characteristics in your library, including low cost/no cost tips that apply to any size of library or community. Give your library a new lease on life and revitalize excitement about your services.

Presented by: George Needham, Director, Delaware County District Library (OH)

Cheers,
Darci
