Dear YSCON Community,

Happy March! I hope spring-like weather is finding its way to your corner of the country. This is a monthly message to encourage conversation among state youth services consultants.

What is new in your world? What is fun, hard, or scary?

For me, I am in the midst of planning workshops and grants for school and public library collaboration alongside our state school library consultant. More updates as the project develops!

Mark your calendars for our March online meeting. More details to come from Elaine.

Hi everybody, 

I'm the new YS consultant here in Oregon, and I'm so glad to be part of this group! I 've been meaning to respond to this thread for a bit, but had hoped to have more constructive options to suggest before sending. :) 

I have a different perspective on KitKeeper, as my most recent library system used it to circulate book group kits to patrons. I imagine if it were only being used internally, it could be useful, but I found the interface difficult to use and a bit cumbersome. I would not personally wish to use it on a regular basis. 

However, we used our ILS to circulate things like storytime items/STEM kits internally by hiding the public record of the item - if it's possible at all to do this, that's what I'd personally advocate for doing.  There's another system here that also does this, shadowing their public record to circulate baby board book kits for choral reading at storytimes. That's what I'd suggest if possible. 

Another county here actually uses a - wait for it - physical calendar! - to circulate their storytime kits, ipad kits, board book kits, puppets, and STEM kits. They have one person in charge of things - I attached their procedures above if that's helpful. They're circulating among multiple staff members at 15 member libraries in the Portland metro, so it's not huge but also not tiny, they do tons of programing with these items. 

Anyway, there's some ideas, I hope at least one is useful to you! :) 

 Happy Thursday, 

Greta B

Hi, Cathy and all!

We also use KitKeeper here at ISL to manage our book, storytime, LEGO, and DUPLO kits.  We've had it for about 9 months.  We circulate our kits using a statewide courier service.  (KitKeeper is a management/database system; it won't help you with the shipping of kits.)

I find KitKeeper to be fine.  It is very inexpensive and for that reason we are willing to overlook some of the drawbacks/less excellent qualities.  It's not very adaptive.  They can change things like loan periods, time between loans, etc.  However, they cannot make larger adaptations.  For instance, when someone reserves a kit there is one "Name" slot.  I'd like there to be two name slots (I won't go into details on why).  But they "can't" add a second Name line for me.  It seems like this would be very simple to code, but is a no-go.  I suspect they just have the one basic program and perhaps don't have the manpower to alter the structure for just one client.  Additionally, I find it difficult to get the statistics I need from the system as-is.  But then again, these are likely the reasons why it' so inexpensive.

Otherwise, they were accommodating and helpful as we set the system up.  They respond relatively quickly to questions.  

You can view our instance here:  http://www.eventkeeper.com/kitkeeper/index.cfm?curOrg=ingovhome

Let me know if you questions!

Hey Cathy!
We just started using KitKeeper about 6 months ago and we love them. They have been easy to work with, very responsive and very affordable for our budget.
We use our interagency courier service to transport our kits to the public libraries.

Cheers!
Rebecca

Hi all,
Just wondering what you all use to send materials and any programming and/or training "kits" you circulate to public library staff? If so, how do you get it out?  I've just heard of "KitKeeper," does any one have feed back on that?

We're looking to circulate NASA at MyLibrary kits soon and cannot use our ILL method, as that's for public materials only.

Happy March Everyone!

It's certainly been a wild few weeks of weather in Kentucky with the Ohio River and all of its tributaries causing major flooding along our border with Cincinnati, as well as in deep parts of the Appalachian Mountains. In fact, I had a summer reading workshop this week in southeastern Kentucky where several libraries cancelled at the last minute because of worries of flash flooding - they would not be able to get back home because of mountain run off...wild!

I am frantically racing towards the end of a major IMLS 21st Century Librarian Grant focused on continuing education efforts to public library staff on early childhood development to increase the knowledge of school readiness skills to their patrons. The grant has lasted the duration of my time with the agency, so it will be so strange to shift focus later this year. You can learn more about the project by visiting our support website:

https://kdla.ky.gov/librarians/programs/school-ready-libraries/Pages/default.aspx

In addition to providing live training in a couple weeks around Ages and Stages screening, I am wrapping up work on creating new preschool program kits, that will circulate from the state library. These kits will be on topics related to our state's definition of kindergarten readiness, to help librarians plan their own early childhood storytimes and programs. I have a few folks in our state whose libraries have already created similar local products, and will be offering critiques. However, I will gladly accept any suggestions or feedbacks, as well as your favorite sources to build on our website. I hope to be able to offer the modules for free to anyone after the end of the grant, so stay tuned for more info.

Message-ID: <044d0e3a0e55468bb8ef40dc44f5d220@EXP-D3S3.exec.ds.state.ct.us>

Hello all, and happy (almost) spring (as we anticipate a big snowstorm here in CT...),

I just read over all of the past emails about online summer reading - and I still have a question... our contract with Evanced/Wandoo is over at the end of this summer, and unlike some of you, we have big buy in - so I really want to continue to provide this service.

To avoid having to put out an RFP, I am looking for other state contracts with ReadSquared, or Beanstack, or Counting Opinions. Apparently I can avoid that whole process by going on another state contract. Are you willing to share yours?

ALSO, when I was reading over past emails, I saw that there was one (2016) called Bookpoints that was being developed by California. Looks like it's open source, but I really don't know what that means in terms of what it takes to run it. Is anyone using this? If so, how does that work?

Thanks in advance for your help!
Linda

Hi y'all!

To give you a small idea of how busy my spring is....I am gone for 36 out of the next 52 days. Not including Good Friday, which we have off. I am finalizing a series of workshops (3 across the state) on bilingual storytimes and Latino outreach with Katie Scherrer from Kentucky (thanks Krista!) that will be in late April/early May.

We are reviewing the LSTA applications submitted by libraries across the state (deadline April 3rd) and we are writing our proposals for spending next year's federal budgets (due April 26th). For my proposals I'm looking at scholarships to send people to the YALSA Symposium; do a statewide, utterly comprehensive youth services assessment; purchase some YALSA e-courses; have some Supercharged Storytime workshops, teen brain development workshops, and possibly bring in the Green Dot folks. AND with my state funds, I am going to attempt to plan a fall Summer Learning Summit.

I head out Monday for the second of three in-person trainings for the EXCITE: Transformation for Libraries program in CT, so I get wave at Linda! Then I'll be at PLA - anyone else going to be there? - and squeezing in the Family Place Libraries presentation.

I am also in the process of spending unobligated special projects funding to purchase 4 digital STARLAB<http://starlab.com/digital-starlab/> (r) projectors & domes that will tour public libraries starting in September for the following year, both as a Universe of Stories ramp-up and department-wide celebration of the 50th Moon Landing Anniversary.

Nothing to see here! ;)

Whew! I concur, although in the public libraries the summer is definitely the busiest time, it seems like at the state level February through May is absolutely insane! My department, Library Development, decided to put a moratorium on all travel for July, just so we have a chance to remember what our offices look like :)

See you at PLA!! I'll be attending the Family Place symposium as well, I'm very excited to learn more about them.

To give you a small idea of how busy my spring is....I am gone for 36 out of the next 52 days. Not including Good Friday, which we have off. I am finalizing a series of workshops (3 across the state) on bilingual storytimes and Latino outreach with Katie Scherrer from Kentucky (thanks Krista!) that will be in late April/early May.

We are reviewing the LSTA applications submitted by libraries across the state (deadline April 3rd) and we are writing our proposals for spending next year's federal budgets (due April 26th). For my proposals I'm looking at scholarships to send people to the YALSA Symposium; do a statewide, utterly comprehensive youth services assessment; purchase some YALSA e-courses; have some Supercharged Storytime workshops, teen brain development workshops, and possibly bring in the Green Dot folks. AND with my state funds, I am going to attempt to plan a fall Summer Learning Summit.

I head out Monday for the second of three in-person trainings for the EXCITE: Transformation for Libraries program in CT, so I get wave at Linda! Then I'll be at PLA - anyone else going to be there? - and squeezing in the Family Place Libraries presentation.

I am also in the process of spending unobligated special projects funding to purchase 4 digital STARLAB<http://starlab.com/digital-starlab/> (r) projectors & domes that will tour public libraries starting in September for the following year, both as a Universe of Stories ramp-up and department-wide celebration of the 50th Moon Landing Anniversary.

Nothing to see here! ;)

Happy March Everyone!

It's certainly been a wild few weeks of weather in Kentucky with the Ohio River and all of its tributaries causing major flooding along our border with Cincinnati, as well as in deep parts of the Appalachian Mountains. In fact, I had a summer reading workshop this week in southeastern Kentucky where several libraries cancelled at the last minute because of worries of flash flooding - they would not be able to get back home because of mountain run off...wild!

I am frantically racing towards the end of a major IMLS 21st Century Librarian Grant focused on continuing education efforts to public library staff on early childhood development to increase the knowledge of school readiness skills to their patrons. The grant has lasted the duration of my time with the agency, so it will be so strange to shift focus later this year. You can learn more about the project by visiting our support website:

https://kdla.ky.gov/librarians/programs/school-ready-libraries/Pages/default.aspx

In addition to providing live training in a couple weeks around Ages and Stages screening, I am wrapping up work on creating new preschool program kits, that will circulate from the state library. These kits will be on topics related to our state's definition of kindergarten readiness, to help librarians plan their own early childhood storytimes and programs. I have a few folks in our state whose libraries have already created similar local products, and will be offering critiques. However, I will gladly accept any suggestions or feedbacks, as well as your favorite sources to build on our website. I hope to be able to offer the modules for free to anyone after the end of the grant, so stay tuned for more info.

Hello!
  Some day I hope to go to Beanstack but we do not have a contract yet. I have worked with them in figuring out pricing, etc, and I found them to be very helpful and friendly.
Hope to see all of you soon,

Subject: [yscon] Online Summer Reading Again - Contracts?

Hello all, and happy (almost) spring (as we anticipate a big snowstorm here in CT...),

I just read over all of the past emails about online summer reading - and I still have a question... our contract with Evanced/Wandoo is over at the end of this summer, and unlike some of you, we have big buy in - so I really want to continue to provide this service.

To avoid having to put out an RFP, I am looking for other state contracts with ReadSquared, or Beanstack, or Counting Opinions. Apparently I can avoid that whole process by going on another state contract. Are you willing to share yours?

ALSO, when I was reading over past emails, I saw that there was one (2016) called Bookpoints that was being developed by California. Looks like it's open source, but I really don't know what that means in terms of what it takes to run it. Is anyone using this? If so, how does that work?

Thanks in advance for your help!
Linda

Hi Linda! Virginia is currently the only Bookpoints user now that
California dropped out of its development for fiscal reasons. I am very
happy with Galecia Company's responsiveness to our feedback. This will be
the 3rd year of our commitment with them and it has been a happy option
over Evanced for ease of use and price over the others.

Lori Ayer ( lori.ayre at galecia.com )  is the contact person--she is a
librarian AND a developer. We are currently paying them to support and
host. They are very hopeful to have this project benefit libraries
nationally and make it the go to open source product for those who have the
capability to make it their own as well as those who might need support.

Best,
Nan

Whew! I concur, although in the public libraries the summer is definitely the busiest time, it seems like at the state level February through May is absolutely insane! My department, Library Development, decided to put a moratorium on all travel for July, just so we have a chance to remember what our offices look like :)

See you at PLA!! I'll be attending the Family Place symposium as well, I'm very excited to learn more about them.

Good Afternoon All,

I received some happy news to end the week - I will receive funding to host a statewide youth services conference this fall!

Due to impending circumstances :) I need to get a move on with planning. That being said, agency-sponsored statewide conferences in the past have been exclusively focused on summer reading. However, I would like for the next event to be broader, encompassing all aspects of youth services - with summer reading just being a piece of the pie.

I would greatly appreciate anyone willing to share formats of statewide conferences, including days/length of time (I'm leaning towards 2 days), as well as presentation tracks and breakdown of content/specializations by days. Also, if the event was supported by LSTA funds, what did you charge for or spend funds on (for example, part of funding would go to secure a venue, but we typically have to charge to recover meal costs).

Thank you for the inspiration, Hive Mind!

Hi Krista! That is awesome news! So Exciting.

State Library of Ohio does not host/coordinate library conferences, for the most part. We manage two leadership institutes (Library Leadership Ohio and ILEAD-USA). We lead or participate in occasional partnership CE events (e.g. upcoming opioid crisis workshops for library staff across Ohio). And we support Take 5 through my time as planning team convener and through LSTA $, though Take 5 is not marketed as a SLO event.

But speaking of Take 5, I do love the format of that event. :) I think the last time you were able to attend was the Cincinnati event that you co-planned? It keeps evolving. Here is the program booklet from the 2017 Take 5:
library.ohio.gov/documents/take-5-weve-going-program-booklet/<https://library.ohio.gov/documents/take-5-weve-going-program-booklet/>

For others on YSCON: Take 5 is a one-day event for teen/youth services librarians, school librarians, and their allies who support and care about young people. This annual, grassroots-organized, Ohio-based event grew out of practitioners' interest in collaboration and dialogue. Take 5 offers experiential learning, hands-on activities, small-group conversations, engagement with high-level issues/trends/realities, and the opportunity to meet and learn from allies in other fields (arts/museum, advocacy, social welfare, writing, food, therapy dogs!, etc.). Details: library.ohio.gov/take5<https://library.ohio.gov/take5>. LSTA funds cover speaker expenses, host site honorarium (Take 5 takes place at libraries and museums that do not charge us to use their space), and supplies/materials. Attendee registration fees cover all food/refreshments. It's an inexpensive event - our total budget has never been above $3200.


More along the lines of what Krista's planning, I think: the Ohio Library Council (equivalent of KPLA) hosts a youth services conference, roughly biennially, in late summer/early fall. It is a traditional format, one-day conference, with a lunch keynote speaker and 4-5 sets of breakout sessions. There is not a vendor/trade show. Here is (very limited) info about the 2018 conference, coming up on August 10:
olc.org/blog/event/beyond-books-programs-changing-youth-services<http://olc.org/blog/event/beyond-books-programs-changing-youth-services/>

Attached is the agenda of the most recent OLC youth services conference, held in 2015 (I did say ROUGHLY biennially!).

Krista, when will the KDLA youth services conference take place? OLC rescheduled from Sept. to August to avoid proximity to the ALSC Institute.

Good luck & keep us posted!

Best,
Janet

Thank you for all of the assortment of options to browse, Janet. And seriously YSCon's -- if you are a neighbor state and can make it to Ohio for Take5 - DO IT! You will not regret it!


If I go on time, I am not planning to return to work until after Labor Day, and therefore want to give myself plenty of time to prep. I am also hoping to attend the ALSC Institute, and do scholarships as we were able to support for the YALSA Symposium.


I am still playing around with dates, but looking at the beginning of November. I know that conflicts with YALSA, but since it's on the opposite side of the country, I don't expect many folks in Kentucky to be able to afford to attend.

It is a traditional format, one-day conference, with a lunch keynote speaker and 4-5 sets of breakout sessions. There is not a vendor/trade show. Here is (very limited) info about the 2018 conference, coming up on August 10:

olc.org/blog/event/beyond-books-programs-changing-youth-services<http://olc.org/blog/event/beyond-books-programs-changing-youth-services/>



Attached is the agenda of the most recent OLC youth services conference, held in 2015 (I did say ROUGHLY biennially!).



Krista, when will the KDLA youth services conference take place? OLC rescheduled from Sept. to August to avoid proximity to the ALSC Institute.



Good luck & keep us posted!



Best,
Janet

Good Afternoon All,



I received some happy news to end the week ? I will receive funding to host a statewide youth services conference this fall!



Due to impending circumstances :) I need to get a move on with planning. That being said, agency-sponsored statewide conferences in the past have been exclusively focused on summer reading. However, I would like for the next event to be broader, encompassing all aspects of youth services ? with summer reading just being a piece of the pie.



I would greatly appreciate anyone willing to share formats of statewide conferences, including days/length of time (I?m leaning towards 2 days), as well as presentation tracks and breakdown of content/specializations by days. Also, if the event was supported by LSTA funds, what did you charge for or spend funds on (for example, part of funding would go to secure a venue, but we typically have to charge to recover meal costs).



Thank you for the inspiration, Hive Mind!

I have done two statewide summits since becoming the youth services consultant for Washington State.

The first was a single day and ran from 9 to 3.  That was too short and made life really hectic for individuals who flew in and out from Eastern Washington in the same day.

The second summit was a day and a half.  It began at 9 in the morning and went til 3 p.m. the following day. This is my preferred format.

I planned both summits by checking in with the influential youth services coordinators to see what topics they thought should be tackled.  Then I found in state speakers to address the issues. No one was paid to be on a panel or be a speaker.

Agendas are attached for the 2015 and 2017 summits.  I didn't offer separate tracks at either summit.  I may offer a separate YA track at the next summit which may happen in 2019.

LSTA funds pay travel expenses for two representatives from each library system, one YA representative and one youth services representative to attend.

I offered the option for other library staff to attend if their library would cover their own meals and travel expenses. The limit to attendance was the amount of table and chair space the room would hold. Only one library took advantage of this offer and that was the library in the city where the training was held.

Fortunately for my budget the majority of  Washington State libraries are located west of the Cascades and within driving distance of the meeting location so their librarians drove to the meeting. Many used library cars and didn't request travel reimbursement.

If libraries were further than a two hour commute and/or 50 miles away, two nights of lodging and per diem was offered.

A contingent of about 30 individuals over from Eastern Washington Libraries  flew over the day before. A bus brought everyone from the airport to the meeting space and back.

Some individuals chose to drive from Eastern Washington.  That was approved as the roundtrip mileage expenses were equivalent to the plane fares and parking expenses.

As planned activities ran until 9 the first evening we offered everyone the option of staying at the hotel so that they could continue to network with colleagues. The networking opportunity which was offered after a late dinner (7 p.m.) was VERY popular.

The cost of the last summit was approximately $30,000.

Youth services folk always learn and draw inspiration from each other when they get together.  I considered the expense money well spent-and judging from the program evaluations the attendees agreed.

Hi Krista! That is awesome news! So Exciting.

State Library of Ohio does not host/coordinate library conferences, for the most part. We manage two leadership institutes (Library Leadership Ohio and ILEAD-USA). We lead or participate in occasional partnership CE events (e.g. upcoming opioid crisis workshops for library staff across Ohio). And we support Take 5 through my time as planning team convener and through LSTA $, though Take 5 is not marketed as a SLO event.

But speaking of Take 5, I do love the format of that event. :) I think the last time you were able to attend was the Cincinnati event that you co-planned? It keeps evolving. Here is the program booklet from the 2017 Take 5:
library.ohio.gov/documents/take-5-weve-going-program-booklet/<https://library.ohio.gov/documents/take-5-weve-going-program-booklet/>

For others on YSCON: Take 5 is a one-day event for teen/youth services librarians, school librarians, and their allies who support and care about young people. This annual, grassroots-organized, Ohio-based event grew out of practitioners' interest in collaboration and dialogue. Take 5 offers experiential learning, hands-on activities, small-group conversations, engagement with high-level issues/trends/realities, and the opportunity to meet and learn from allies in other fields (arts/museum, advocacy, social welfare, writing, food, therapy dogs!, etc.). Details: library.ohio.gov/take5<https://library.ohio.gov/take5>. LSTA funds cover speaker expenses, host site honorarium (Take 5 takes place at libraries and museums that do not charge us to use their space), and supplies/materials. Attendee registration fees cover all food/refreshments. It's an inexpensive event - our total budget has never been above $3200.


More along the lines of what Krista's planning, I think: the Ohio Library Council (equivalent of KPLA) hosts a youth services conference, roughly biennially, in late summer/early fall. It is a traditional format, one-day conference, with a lunch keynote speaker and 4-5 sets of breakout sessions. There is not a vendor/trade show. Here is (very limited) info about the 2018 conference, coming up on August 10:
olc.org/blog/event/beyond-books-programs-changing-youth-services<http://olc.org/blog/event/beyond-books-programs-changing-youth-services/>

Attached is the agenda of the most recent OLC youth services conference, held in 2015 (I did say ROUGHLY biennially!).

Krista, when will the KDLA youth services conference take place? OLC rescheduled from Sept. to August to avoid proximity to the ALSC Institute.

Good luck & keep us posted!

Janet

Good Afternoon All,

Due to impending circumstances :) I need to get a move on with planning. That being said, agency-sponsored statewide conferences in the past have been exclusively focused on summer reading. However, I would like for the next event to be broader, encompassing all aspects of youth services - with summer reading just being a piece of the pie.

I love the focus of Washington's summit, Carolyn! Oregon does a statewide conference every other year that I'm working on for the fall, but the focus is on approx. 25  library staff who do not have an MLIS and are in positions serving youth - targeted to our small, rural library folks. The description below is what I'm working with and I've attached 2016's agenda in case it's helpful - I don't know if you'll be working with folks who don't have much professional development experience, it's a bit more basic than the Washington agenda, but just in case, more food for thought! :) Our budget is $12,000. Previous evaluations all say the top three topics folks found most useful are: early literacy & brain development, everyone serves teens, and best practices in teen and or storytime programming.

The Oregon State Library has coordinated the Focus on Children and Young Adults Institute for 2? days in September of even numbered years since 1996. The Focus Institute seeks to provide a foundation of professional knowledge about youth services necessary for the operation of small, rural public libraries.  Participants will attend several training sessions over the course of 2 ?  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 on 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.

Subject: Re: [yscon] Successful Statewide YS Conference Format

I have done two statewide summits since becoming the youth services consultant for Washington State.

The first was a single day and ran from 9 to 3.  That was too short and made life really hectic for individuals who flew in and out from Eastern Washington in the same day.

The second summit was a day and a half.  It began at 9 in the morning and went til 3 p.m. the following day. This is my preferred format.

I planned both summits by checking in with the influential youth services coordinators to see what topics they thought should be tackled.  Then I found in state speakers to address the issues. No one was paid to be on a panel or be a speaker.

Agendas are attached for the 2015 and 2017 summits.  I didn't offer separate tracks at either summit.  I may offer a separate YA track at the next summit which may happen in 2019.

LSTA funds pay travel expenses for two representatives from each library system, one YA representative and one youth services representative to attend.

I offered the option for other library staff to attend if their library would cover their own meals and travel expenses. The limit to attendance was the amount of table and chair space the room would hold. Only one library took advantage of this offer and that was the library in the city where the training was held.

Fortunately for my budget the majority of  Washington State libraries are located west of the Cascades and within driving distance of the meeting location so their librarians drove to the meeting. Many used library cars and didn't request travel reimbursement.

If libraries were further than a two hour commute and/or 50 miles away, two nights of lodging and per diem was offered.

A contingent of about 30 individuals over from Eastern Washington Libraries  flew over the day before. A bus brought everyone from the airport to the meeting space and back.

Some individuals chose to drive from Eastern Washington.  That was approved as the roundtrip mileage expenses were equivalent to the plane fares and parking expenses.

As planned activities ran until 9 the first evening we offered everyone the option of staying at the hotel so that they could continue to network with colleagues. The networking opportunity which was offered after a late dinner (7 p.m.) was VERY popular.

The cost of the last summit was approximately $30,000.

Youth services folk always learn and draw inspiration from each other when they get together.  I considered the expense money well spent-and judging from the program evaluations the attendees agreed.

Hi Krista! That is awesome news! So Exciting.

State Library of Ohio does not host/coordinate library conferences, for the most part. We manage two leadership institutes (Library Leadership Ohio and ILEAD-USA). We lead or participate in occasional partnership CE events (e.g. upcoming opioid crisis workshops for library staff across Ohio). And we support Take 5 through my time as planning team convener and through LSTA $, though Take 5 is not marketed as a SLO event.

But speaking of Take 5, I do love the format of that event. :) I think the last time you were able to attend was the Cincinnati event that you co-planned? It keeps evolving. Here is the program booklet from the 2017 Take 5:
library.ohio.gov/documents/take-5-weve-going-program-booklet/<https://library.ohio.gov/documents/take-5-weve-going-program-booklet/>

For others on YSCON: Take 5 is a one-day event for teen/youth services librarians, school librarians, and their allies who support and care about young people. This annual, grassroots-organized, Ohio-based event grew out of practitioners' interest in collaboration and dialogue. Take 5 offers experiential learning, hands-on activities, small-group conversations, engagement with high-level issues/trends/realities, and the opportunity to meet and learn from allies in other fields (arts/museum, advocacy, social welfare, writing, food, therapy dogs!, etc.). Details: library.ohio.gov/take5<https://library.ohio.gov/take5>. LSTA funds cover speaker expenses, host site honorarium (Take 5 takes place at libraries and museums that do not charge us to use their space), and supplies/materials. Attendee registration fees cover all food/refreshments. It's an inexpensive event - our total budget has never been above $3200.


More along the lines of what Krista's planning, I think: the Ohio Library Council (equivalent of KPLA) hosts a youth services conference, roughly biennially, in late summer/early fall. It is a traditional format, one-day conference, with a lunch keynote speaker and 4-5 sets of breakout sessions. There is not a vendor/trade show. Here is (very limited) info about the 2018 conference, coming up on August 10:
olc.org/blog/event/beyond-books-programs-changing-youth-services<http://olc.org/blog/event/beyond-books-programs-changing-youth-services/>

Attached is the agenda of the most recent OLC youth services conference, held in 2015 (I did say ROUGHLY biennially!).

Krista, when will the KDLA youth services conference take place? OLC rescheduled from Sept. to August to avoid proximity to the ALSC Institute.

Good luck & keep us posted!

Best,
Janet

Subject: [yscon] Successful Statewide YS Conference Format

Good Afternoon All,

I received some happy news to end the week - I will receive funding to host a statewide youth services conference this fall!

Due to impending circumstances :) I need to get a move on with planning. That being said, agency-sponsored statewide conferences in the past have been exclusively focused on summer reading. However, I would like for the next event to be broader, encompassing all aspects of youth services - with summer reading just being a piece of the pie.

I would greatly appreciate anyone willing to share formats of statewide conferences, including days/length of time (I'm leaning towards 2 days), as well as presentation tracks and breakdown of content/specializations by days. Also, if the event was supported by LSTA funds, what did you charge for or spend funds on (for example, part of funding would go to secure a venue, but we typically have to charge to recover meal costs).

Thank you for the inspiration, Hive Mind!

~Krista

Good afternoon,



PLA is just around the corner and I wanted to see if those of you who are coming in to Philadelphia next week would like to get together for dinner one night.  If you would, please send me the nights you are free and I will make reservations for a good restaurant the night that most people are available.  Please reply by Thursday.

Message-ID: <6E6B61CC-D6C4-4993-9E09-56DB8F6157CD@masslibsystem.org>

Good morning from snow covered MA!

We hold an annual Teen Summit, 2018 will be our 10th anniversary! (This is in addition to 1-3 other full day events our organization runs. An annual meeting that is part business meeting, usually a spring meeting and sometimes something else if we have a great opportunity that pops up). The Teen Summit is co-sponsored with the Rhode Island Office of Library and Information Services (hi Danielle!).

The usual agenda is that we begin at 10am with a keynote, then offer a breakout session with 2 different presentations, lunch, another breakout session with 2 different presentations, and then some sort of wrap-up (another speaker, a panel, etc.) and we?re done by 4. We?ve tried some different things over the years but this format works well. We get a lot of great feedback on the speakers (most of whom are MA or RI librarians who present for free, or people from nonprofit orgs that work with teens). But most people seem to really love that there is a day just for teen librarians, they love the networking time too. Because we get between 150-200 attendees we cannot hold it in a library. The past few years it has been in a hotel and we only charge for the cost of food. It?s usually held in the fall but we?re thinking of moving it to the spring. Here is our page and you can see the info for the past few years http://guides.masslibsystem.org/youthservices/ts

We used to hold a summer program kickoff in the spring but it was a lot of work for not a lot of impact and so I moved to doing more comprehensive workshops in various areas around the state. I can reach more people this way and it saves money.

The only thing to add is that we realize just having a teen summit does not address other areas of youth services (in the same way). So we?re exploring other options and ideas. So this thread is great, thanks!

Happy to answer other questions, April

Subject: Re: [yscon] Successful Statewide YS Conference Format

I love the focus of Washington?s summit, Carolyn! Oregon does a statewide conference every other year that I?m working on for the fall, but the focus is on approx. 25  library staff who do not have an MLIS and are in positions serving youth ? targeted to our small, rural library folks. The description below is what I?m working with and I?ve attached 2016?s agenda in case it?s helpful ? I don?t know if you?ll be working with folks who don?t have much professional development experience, it?s a bit more basic than the Washington agenda, but just in case, more food for thought! ? Our budget is $12,000. Previous evaluations all say the top three topics folks found most useful are: early literacy & brain development, everyone serves teens, and best practices in teen and or storytime programming.

The Oregon State Library has coordinated the Focus on Children and Young Adults Institute for 2? days in September of even numbered years since 1996. The Focus Institute seeks to provide a foundation of professional knowledge about youth services necessary for the operation of small, rural public libraries.  Participants will attend several training sessions over the course of 2 ?  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 on 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.

Subject: Re: [yscon] Successful Statewide YS Conference Format

I have done two statewide summits since becoming the youth services consultant for Washington State.

The first was a single day and ran from 9 to 3.  That was too short and made life really hectic for individuals who flew in and out from Eastern Washington in the same day.

The second summit was a day and a half.  It began at 9 in the morning and went til 3 p.m. the following day. This is my preferred format.

I planned both summits by checking in with the influential youth services coordinators to see what topics they thought should be tackled.  Then I found in state speakers to address the issues. No one was paid to be on a panel or be a speaker.

Agendas are attached for the 2015 and 2017 summits.  I didn?t offer separate tracks at either summit.  I may offer a separate YA track at the next summit which may happen in 2019.

LSTA funds pay travel expenses for two representatives from each library system, one YA representative and one youth services representative to attend.

I offered the option for other library staff to attend if their library would cover their own meals and travel expenses. The limit to attendance was the amount of table and chair space the room would hold. Only one library took advantage of this offer and that was the library in the city where the training was held.

Fortunately for my budget the majority of  Washington State libraries are located west of the Cascades and within driving distance of the meeting location so their librarians drove to the meeting. Many used library cars and didn?t request travel reimbursement.

If libraries were further than a two hour commute and/or 50 miles away, two nights of lodging and per diem was offered.

A contingent of about 30 individuals over from Eastern Washington Libraries  flew over the day before. A bus brought everyone from the airport to the meeting space and back.

Some individuals chose to drive from Eastern Washington.  That was approved as the roundtrip mileage expenses were equivalent to the plane fares and parking expenses.

As planned activities ran until 9 the first evening we offered everyone the option of staying at the hotel so that they could continue to network with colleagues. The networking opportunity which was offered after a late dinner (7 p.m.) was VERY popular.

The cost of the last summit was approximately $30,000.

Youth services folk always learn and draw inspiration from each other when they get together.  I considered the expense money well spent?and judging from the program evaluations the attendees agreed.

Subject: Re: [yscon] Successful Statewide YS Conference Format

Hi Krista! That is awesome news! So Exciting.

State Library of Ohio does not host/coordinate library conferences, for the most part. We manage two leadership institutes (Library Leadership Ohio and ILEAD-USA). We lead or participate in occasional partnership CE events (e.g. upcoming opioid crisis workshops for library staff across Ohio). And we support Take 5 through my time as planning team convener and through LSTA $, though Take 5 is not marketed as a SLO event.

But speaking of Take 5, I do love the format of that event. ? I think the last time you were able to attend was the Cincinnati event that you co-planned? It keeps evolving. Here is the program booklet from the 2017 Take 5:
library.ohio.gov/documents/take-5-weve-going-program-booklet/<https://library.ohio.gov/documents/take-5-weve-going-program-booklet/>

For others on YSCON: Take 5 is a one-day event for teen/youth services librarians, school librarians, and their allies who support and care about young people. This annual, grassroots-organized, Ohio-based event grew out of practitioners? interest in collaboration and dialogue. Take 5 offers experiential learning, hands-on activities, small-group conversations, engagement with high-level issues/trends/realities, and the opportunity to meet and learn from allies in other fields (arts/museum, advocacy, social welfare, writing, food, therapy dogs!, etc.). Details: library.ohio.gov/take5<https://library.ohio.gov/take5>. LSTA funds cover speaker expenses, host site honorarium (Take 5 takes place at libraries and museums that do not charge us to use their space), and supplies/materials. Attendee registration fees cover all food/refreshments. It?s an inexpensive event ? our total budget has never been above $3200.


More along the lines of what Krista?s planning, I think: the Ohio Library Council (equivalent of KPLA) hosts a youth services conference, roughly biennially, in late summer/early fall. It is a traditional format, one-day conference, with a lunch keynote speaker and 4-5 sets of breakout sessions. There is not a vendor/trade show. Here is (very limited) info about the 2018 conference, coming up on August 10:
olc.org/blog/event/beyond-books-programs-changing-youth-services<http://olc.org/blog/event/beyond-books-programs-changing-youth-services/>

Attached is the agenda of the most recent OLC youth services conference, held in 2015 (I did say ROUGHLY biennially!).

Krista, when will the KDLA youth services conference take place? OLC rescheduled from Sept. to August to avoid proximity to the ALSC Institute.

Good luck & keep us posted!

Best,
Janet

Subject: [yscon] Successful Statewide YS Conference Format

Good Afternoon All,

I received some happy news to end the week ? I will receive funding to host a statewide youth services conference this fall!

Due to impending circumstances ? I need to get a move on with planning. That being said, agency-sponsored statewide conferences in the past have been exclusively focused on summer reading. However, I would like for the next event to be broader, encompassing all aspects of youth services ? with summer reading just being a piece of the pie.

I would greatly appreciate anyone willing to share formats of statewide conferences, including days/length of time (I?m leaning towards 2 days), as well as presentation tracks and breakdown of content/specializations by days. Also, if the event was supported by LSTA funds, what did you charge for or spend funds on (for example, part of funding would go to secure a venue, but we typically have to charge to recover meal costs).

Thank you for the inspiration, Hive Mind!

Hi, Everyone,

In NJ, we do a similar format as April?s in MA. We?ve been doing a Youth Services Forum for 27 years. It?s for both children?s and teen librarians or staff who work with them from both public and school libraries, as well as MLS students. It?s also usually about ? of a day long ? from about 8:45 am ? 3 pm. We also start with a keynote speaker, then have 2 separate breakout sessions with a choice of 3 programs to attend in each time period, then lunch, then another breakout session of 3 programs and then everyone gets back together for a wrap up. We try to have sessions that appeal to children?s librarians and others that appeal to teen librarians.
The wrap up includes updates from noted officers from statewide organizations, like the Executive Director and President of our state?s library association, the President of the statewide association of school librarians and the State Librarian and a raffle. The sessions are presented by librarians for the attendees. We don?t have a budget to pay for speakers, with rare exceptions for the keynote speakers. We also ask speakers from local organizations to speak as well, depending on the topic. We send out a request for proposals to come up with the session topics. We get ideas for future Forum session based on the evaluations too. CE credits are given. The Forum is co-sponsored with the statewide library association and the statewide school librarians association. We do charge a registration fee that covers breakfast and lunch.

Over the years we?ve tinkered with having a half day Forum and a full-day Forum but ? of a day works best because some people have to get back to cover the late afternoons at their libraries. Last year we did change the format a little and substitute an unconference for the afternoon breakout sessions. We also ask our state library?s association?s store to come and they sell library related gift items at the event. We don?t usually have other vendors at the event. We get between 150 ? 200 attendees but we still host it in a library. There are a few that can accommodate that number of people and that have large enough parking lots.

Although the NJ Library Association?s Youth Services and Children?s sections do have several half-day workshops, this is more comprehensive and a great opportunity for everyone to network.

Sorry for the long explanation! Hope it?s helpful.

~Sharon

Good morning from snow covered MA!

We hold an annual Teen Summit, 2018 will be our 10th anniversary! (This is in addition to 1-3 other full day events our organization runs. An annual meeting that is part business meeting, usually a spring meeting and sometimes something else if we have a great opportunity that pops up). The Teen Summit is co-sponsored with the Rhode Island Office of Library and Information Services (hi Danielle!).

The usual agenda is that we begin at 10am with a keynote, then offer a breakout session with 2 different presentations, lunch, another breakout session with 2 different presentations, and then some sort of wrap-up (another speaker, a panel, etc.) and we?re done by 4. We?ve tried some different things over the years but this format works well. We get a lot of great feedback on the speakers (most of whom are MA or RI librarians who present for free, or people from nonprofit orgs that work with teens). But most people seem to really love that there is a day just for teen librarians, they love the networking time too. Because we get between 150-200 attendees we cannot hold it in a library. The past few years it has been in a hotel and we only charge for the cost of food. It?s usually held in the fall but we?re thinking of moving it to the spring. Here is our page and you can see the info for the past few years http://guides.masslibsystem.org/youthservices/ts

We used to hold a summer program kickoff in the spring but it was a lot of work for not a lot of impact and so I moved to doing more comprehensive workshops in various areas around the state. I can reach more people this way and it saves money.

The only thing to add is that we realize just having a teen summit does not address other areas of youth services (in the same way). So we?re exploring other options and ideas. So this thread is great, thanks!

Happy to answer other questions, April

I love the focus of Washington?s summit, Carolyn! Oregon does a statewide conference every other year that I?m working on for the fall, but the focus is on approx. 25  library staff who do not have an MLIS and are in positions serving youth ? targeted to our small, rural library folks. The description below is what I?m working with and I?ve attached 2016?s agenda in case it?s helpful ? I don?t know if you?ll be working with folks who don?t have much professional development experience, it?s a bit more basic than the Washington agenda, but just in case, more food for thought! ? Our budget is $12,000. Previous evaluations all say the top three topics folks found most useful are: early literacy & brain development, everyone serves teens, and best practices in teen and or storytime programming.

The Oregon State Library has coordinated the Focus on Children and Young Adults Institute for 2? days in September of even numbered years since 1996. The Focus Institute seeks to provide a foundation of professional knowledge about youth services necessary for the operation of small, rural public libraries.  Participants will attend several training sessions over the course of 2 ?  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 on 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.

Subject: Re: [yscon] Successful Statewide YS Conference Format

I have done two statewide summits since becoming the youth services consultant for Washington State.

The first was a single day and ran from 9 to 3.  That was too short and made life really hectic for individuals who flew in and out from Eastern Washington in the same day.

The second summit was a day and a half.  It began at 9 in the morning and went til 3 p.m. the following day. This is my preferred format.

I planned both summits by checking in with the influential youth services coordinators to see what topics they thought should be tackled.  Then I found in state speakers to address the issues. No one was paid to be on a panel or be a speaker.

Agendas are attached for the 2015 and 2017 summits.  I didn?t offer separate tracks at either summit.  I may offer a separate YA track at the next summit which may happen in 2019.

LSTA funds pay travel expenses for two representatives from each library system, one YA representative and one youth services representative to attend.

I offered the option for other library staff to attend if their library would cover their own meals and travel expenses. The limit to attendance was the amount of table and chair space the room would hold. Only one library took advantage of this offer and that was the library in the city where the training was held.

Fortunately for my budget the majority of  Washington State libraries are located west of the Cascades and within driving distance of the meeting location so their librarians drove to the meeting. Many used library cars and didn?t request travel reimbursement.

If libraries were further than a two hour commute and/or 50 miles away, two nights of lodging and per diem was offered.

A contingent of about 30 individuals over from Eastern Washington Libraries  flew over the day before. A bus brought everyone from the airport to the meeting space and back.

Some individuals chose to drive from Eastern Washington.  That was approved as the roundtrip mileage expenses were equivalent to the plane fares and parking expenses.

As planned activities ran until 9 the first evening we offered everyone the option of staying at the hotel so that they could continue to network with colleagues. The networking opportunity which was offered after a late dinner (7 p.m.) was VERY popular.

The cost of the last summit was approximately $30,000.

Youth services folk always learn and draw inspiration from each other when they get together.  I considered the expense money well spent?and judging from the program evaluations the attendees agreed.

Hi Krista! That is awesome news! So Exciting.

State Library of Ohio does not host/coordinate library conferences, for the most part. We manage two leadership institutes (Library Leadership Ohio and ILEAD-USA). We lead or participate in occasional partnership CE events (e.g. upcoming opioid crisis workshops for library staff across Ohio). And we support Take 5 through my time as planning team convener and through LSTA $, though Take 5 is not marketed as a SLO event.

But speaking of Take 5, I do love the format of that event. ? I think the last time you were able to attend was the Cincinnati event that you co-planned? It keeps evolving. Here is the program booklet from the 2017 Take 5:
library.ohio.gov/documents/take-5-weve-going-program-booklet/<https://library.ohio.gov/documents/take-5-weve-going-program-booklet/>

For others on YSCON: Take 5 is a one-day event for teen/youth services librarians, school librarians, and their allies who support and care about young people. This annual, grassroots-organized, Ohio-based event grew out of practitioners? interest in collaboration and dialogue. Take 5 offers experiential learning, hands-on activities, small-group conversations, engagement with high-level issues/trends/realities, and the opportunity to meet and learn from allies in other fields (arts/museum, advocacy, social welfare, writing, food, therapy dogs!, etc.). Details: library.ohio.gov/take5<https://library.ohio.gov/take5>. LSTA funds cover speaker expenses, host site honorarium (Take 5 takes place at libraries and museums that do not charge us to use their space), and supplies/materials. Attendee registration fees cover all food/refreshments. It?s an inexpensive event ? our total budget has never been above $3200.


More along the lines of what Krista?s planning, I think: the Ohio Library Council (equivalent of KPLA) hosts a youth services conference, roughly biennially, in late summer/early fall. It is a traditional format, one-day conference, with a lunch keynote speaker and 4-5 sets of breakout sessions. There is not a vendor/trade show. Here is (very limited) info about the 2018 conference, coming up on August 10:
olc.org/blog/event/beyond-books-programs-changing-youth-services<http://olc.org/blog/event/beyond-books-programs-changing-youth-services/>

Attached is the agenda of the most recent OLC youth services conference, held in 2015 (I did say ROUGHLY biennially!).

Krista, when will the KDLA youth services conference take place? OLC rescheduled from Sept. to August to avoid proximity to the ALSC Institute.

Good luck & keep us posted!

Best,
Janet

Subject: [yscon] Successful Statewide YS Conference Format

Good Afternoon All,

I received some happy news to end the week ? I will receive funding to host a statewide youth services conference this fall!

Due to impending circumstances ? I need to get a move on with planning. That being said, agency-sponsored statewide conferences in the past have been exclusively focused on summer reading. However, I would like for the next event to be broader, encompassing all aspects of youth services ? with summer reading just being a piece of the pie.

I would greatly appreciate anyone willing to share formats of statewide conferences, including days/length of time (I?m leaning towards 2 days), as well as presentation tracks and breakdown of content/specializations by days. Also, if the event was supported by LSTA funds, what did you charge for or spend funds on (for example, part of funding would go to secure a venue, but we typically have to charge to recover meal costs).

Thank you for the inspiration, Hive Mind!

~Krista

Hi All,

Please forgive me if this has been asked before. I know many of you conduct post-Summer Library Program surveys in your state. I am looking for something a little more general. We are interested in finding out how libraries in our state "do" their summer library programs...what do they call it, what ages, how do they measure, when do they start planning, how much of the budget do they dedicate, do they use the manual or just the graphics, etc. (I just re-read what I wrote and it sounds like I want to do an anthropological study!)

Have any of you done a survey like this? Or does your post-SLP survey speak to some of these issues? Please send anything my way. I'd be most appreciative!

Thanks in advance,
Tessa

Hi Tessa and all,

My State SRP Report addressed many of these aspects.  I am attaching a Word
doc of the questions I asked the YSC last year....but I sent them a link to
a Google Form where they actually completed the report.  I wanted them,
however, to see the questions ahead of time so they could prepare before
beginning the Form, hopefully expediting the process for them.

Hope this is somewhat helpful!

Carrie :)

Hi Tessa and all,

My State SRP Report addressed many of these aspects.  I am attaching a Word doc of the questions I asked the YSC last year....but I sent them a link to a Google Form where they actually completed the report.  I wanted them, however, to see the questions ahead of time so they could prepare before beginning the Form, hopefully expediting the process for them.

Hope this is somewhat helpful!

Carrie :)

Hi All,

Please forgive me if this has been asked before. I know many of you conduct post-Summer Library Program surveys in your state. I am looking for something a little more general. We are interested in finding out how libraries in our state ?do? their summer library programs?what do they call it, what ages, how do they measure, when do they start planning, how much of the budget do they dedicate, do they use the manual or just the graphics, etc. (I just re-read what I wrote and it sounds like I want to do an anthropological study!)

Have any of you done a survey like this? Or does your post-SLP survey speak to some of these issues? Please send anything my way. I?d be most appreciative!

Thanks in advance,
Tessa

Oregon has state funds specifically for our 133 libraries, they can go to either early literacy or summer reading. Every library gets a base grant of $1050, which then goes up based on population. The biggest amount given is to our biggest county, Multnomah, which receives $100,000 because they're serving about 96,000 kids, but most of the grants range from $2000-$10,000. Most of our big systems/branches use these funds for early literacy, but for our smallest libraries often this is the only funding source for kids' programs, so most of them use it for summer reading.

I've attached the application each library completes every year, and you can see the questions we ask about how they're implementing summer reading. This information is currently living on paper, my hope is to get it into some kind of grants management system where we can export to excel quickly.

In any event, there's some good outcome questions and you can see what we're trying to capture. :)

Happy Thursday,

Here is a copy of our summer survey - not sure if it is what you are looking for!

Subject: [yscon] Survey Says...

Hi All,

Please forgive me if this has been asked before. I know many of you conduct post-Summer Library Program surveys in your state. I am looking for something a little more general. We are interested in finding out how libraries in our state "do" their summer library programs...what do they call it, what ages, how do they measure, when do they start planning, how much of the budget do they dedicate, do they use the manual or just the graphics, etc. (I just re-read what I wrote and it sounds like I want to do an anthropological study!)

Have any of you done a survey like this? Or does your post-SLP survey speak to some of these issues? Please send anything my way. I'd be most appreciative!

Thanks in advance,
Tessa
