[yscon] Successful Statewide YS Conference Format

Mon Mar 12 06:13:41 PDT 2018

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

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
