[yscon] October Greetings, YSCON!

Tue Oct 10 09:42:14 PDT 2017

Hi everyone!

April Mazza, Danielle Margarida, and I won’t be able to attend the October 17 meeting since that’s the day of our annual Teen Summit (mini-conference for librarians serving teens!) If you’re curious to see what it’s all about, here is the link to our guide and agenda: http://guides.masslibsystem.org/youthservices/ts  It’s a year-long labor of love, jointly planned by the MA and RI youth service consultants. I’m sure Danielle will be able to share lots of info in Louisville :)

Sadly, I no longer will be able to attend dinner on Sunday. Our MA Library System annual meeting is on Monday, Nov. 6 so I had to change my flight to get back for that. But, I’ll still be at the Symposium and I really hope I’ll get a chance to meet a few of you then!

Best,
Christi

Hello All!

Just wanting to say a quick hello as I play catch up after returning from vacation. I’ll be heading right back out on the road again tomorrow to kick-off our regional summer reading workshops across the state.

Did want to let everyone know I’m working Tessa on selecting some great restaurant options for Louisville, and I can’t wait to see everyone. I am waiting on more info from our friends at YALSA, who have also asked me to help select options for dine around’s during Friday and Saturday of the Symposium.

I want to spread the food love around – would hate to duplicate experiences!

Take care,
~Krista

Hi Janet and all,

Thank you for sharing from your conference last week -- even more impactful in light of the events in Las Vegas that occurred last Monday and was surely on everyone's minds.  We are all wrestling with important issues surrounding how libraries and our staffs can best support their communities. I also appreciate you sharing the Teen Think Tank!

I'm fine with however Tessa wants to organize us for dinner....just looking forward to lots of good conversations and sharing.  7:00 sounds fine.

Carrie :)

Good morning and happy October, friends. And welcome to Bethany from Texas!

Thank you Tessa for these monthly updates and invitations. I want to share that the Ohio Library Council convention took place last week (this is our state library conference for public librarians/library staff). It was exceptional. Strong, thoughtful sessions, and even better conversations in the hallways. And we had a lovely reception at the amazing brand-new Dayton Metro Library’s main library (www.daytonmetrolibrary.org/locations/main<http://www.daytonmetrolibrary.org/locations/main>).

I think part of what made this event so powerful, sadly, was that it took place at a time when we are all feeling burdened and troubled, on our patrons’ behalf and our own. I had signed up, months ago, to present one of a handful of brief talks on hot topics/timely issues. Speakers choose topics of interest to them, which this year included screen time, the love/hate relationship with SRP, a critique of “neutrality”, reliability and government information, and more. They are sort-of modeled after TED talks, but no A/V and you can read from your scripted remarks, which I did, and not without fighting back tears a little. The topic I’d chosen was empathy and its importance as a professional asset. It seemed even more relevant now than back in the winter when I’d submitted my proposal. People are in such dire need of connection and acknowledgement, and we serve our communities better when we truly take into account the realities of everyone in the community. I was humbled both by being able to talk to a big roomful of peers about something like this, and by the tremendous response.

Also I want to share Teen Think Tank, an excellent informal/grassroots CE event developed and presented 2x/year by a team of Ohio teen librarians. They just completed their 9th one-day workshop, and also recently topped 1000 Facebook followers. The Teen Think Tank organizers have had a bit of in-kind support from one of the Ohio regional library systems, and from State Library, and of course the support of their employers and hosting libraries. But effectively they have accomplished all this awesomeness on their own, and with a budget of nothing but the $15/person (includes lunch) registration fee. Check out Teen Think Tank here: www.facebook.com/groups/192137410961794/<http://www.facebook.com/groups/192137410961794/> and here: www.teenthinktank.net<http://www.teenthinktank.net>.

Regarding dinner on the Sunday evening of YALSA, I’ll do whatever Krista suggests we do, but 7:00 pm is fine and splitting into manageable groups is also fine. Thanks!

Best,
Janet

Hello YSCON Folks,

I hope this message finds everyone well and enjoying the seasonal changes. This message is a monthly reminder to reach out and touch someone. Or just share some news or questions from your corner of the world.

According to our schedule, Carmen from DC will be hosting our monthly online meeting on October 17th on the topic of Summer Learning/Library Programs. Jasmine, let us know if you are still willing/able to host November’s meeting.

Speaking of November, many of us are scheduled to meet in Louisville as part of the YALSA forum.  Looking at the great info that Janet put together<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fspreadsheets%2Fd%2F1jduzMIgvGnqudXMHrdn7--DDA8G4fxDWWMBEyBj5fBw%2Fedit%3Fusp%3Dsharing&data=02%7C01%7Cjdwyer%40library.ohio.gov%7C3c7229eae2404be8a80208d50c2852bc%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C636428289689484614&sdata=77QXjhIoNqeeMjOpAyEwPc0KzIh%2BDpGj5GdNEJLtf00%3D&reserved=0>, we have almost 24 people who are open to dinner on Sunday evening. I looked into it, and I couldn’t find a restaurant within walking distance that would take such a large group. Therefore, I am wondering if we should split the group and look for 2 restaurants that could host 12 each or 3 that could host 8.

Please let me know if you have an opinion and/or what time we should try to make reservations for—maybe 7pm?

Wishing you a great rest of the week,
Tessa
