Subject: [yscon] Notes/follow-up - YSCON online meeting on Teen Services & YALSA Competencies

Good afternoon,

We had a lively round robin on state level support for teen services in libraries. Many thanks to the 13 YSCons on the line and to several others who wrote up their contributions for the collaborative notes.

Check out what your colleagues are working on in the area of teen services, and add your thoughts/ideas:
docs.google.com/document/d/1RACT93gVYBfGvX_Y5CUODDaVOq7fFVBrkQMehwc-oIU/edit?usp=sharing<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RACT93gVYBfGvX_Y5CUODDaVOq7fFVBrkQMehwc-oIU/edit?usp=sharing>

A few common themes that emerged:
*Much focus at policy level, as well as in libraries, is on early childhood. How to communicate and convince of the value of services to teens?
*Very small, isolated libraries may struggle to see need for teen services, let alone how they as library staff can have an impact (Note that the May YSCON meeting on Wed., 5/16 is on "Supporting rural/isolated libraries or libraries with small staffs")
*Coding has a lot of momentum and interest at the policy level - a good "in" for enhancing services to middle & high school students. Also think about the emphasis on career and college readiness
*Importance of reaching out to library directors, and to staff who don't often work with teens.

We did not talk much about the YALSA initiative, as it is so big and our time was so short. Several are using the new YALSA Competencies - including Danielle (RI) where the competencies are being leveraged in developing outcomes for grant-funded teen services projects. Others are not (yet) or have no active plans.

Feel free to share additional input on the Google Doc or on the listserv.

Thanks,
Janet

I'll send a reminder a week or so before the meeting. You may want to review the YALSA Teen Services Competencies (www.ala.org/yalsa/guidelines/yacompetencies<http://www.ala.org/yalsa/guidelines/yacompetencies>), and go back over your notes from the YALSA/COSLA convening last fall if you attended the meeting in Louisville.

Looking forward to seeing many of you at CSLP in Denver in a couple weeks!
