Intergenerational programming
I was blown away by the wonderful response to my email on the PAYOUTH list about intergenerational programming. Thank you SO MUCH for all of your emails and photos and your willingness to share. I will incorporate them in an article for the PaLA newsletter and send in all the photos that were sent to me, I guess Ann the editor, will pick and choose, but I am going to post all of your photos and info here on the blog as well. There is so much creativity out there and you are all doing such incredible things! Thank you so much for taking the time to send them to me.
If you sent me an email and I didn't respond, it means that it went to my spam folder or is still floating out there in cyber-land! Please send again or post about it on here! I replied to all of the emails I got and so if you didn't get an email back, then I am so sorry but it got lost somewhere in the web!
I spoke with all of the spring workshop presenters and have complied the dates of their collective availability. Today and tomorrow I will be emailing the libraries who offered to host and so the dates should be out soon!
Denise's web site for for the YS Division is almost ready to roll!
Email me any time: kalchthaleri@einetwork.net
or post away on here!
Thank you so much!

Mid-Week Update
Too many things to post about this week and I was worried I would forget by next Monday!
If you are on the PAYOUTH list you got my request for your stories and experiences regarding intergenerational programming. I'd like to write an article for the PaLA newsletter about the exciting things you are doing. Just email them to me or post on here! kalchthaleri@einetwork.net
Also, BIG thanks to Denise Pulgino Stout from Montgomery County-Norristown Public Library. She offered her library as an additional site for the spring workshop! She has also done a wonderful job working up a YSD website which should be up and running soon. Thank you so much, Denise!
FYI for future CWF chairs- thanks to Shawn Sipe (2007 Chair) and Nancy McLaughlin I believe we will have a list of publishers in e-format for coming years. Both have complied lengthy lists and I will combine them. Dolores Colarosa (2008 Chair) has begun contacting publishers and she will be able to make additions and changes to the list as well to assure that it is updated. We can keep in a members-only section here on the blog/website. Thank you so much Shawn, Nancy and Dolores. This will make things so much easier for future chairs! Also, thanks again to all who have been writing and sharing their interest in serving on the CWF committee. This will also make things easier in the future.

Continuing Education Workshops and SRC
By next week I will have finalized workshop topics with the presenters and will be able to post the topics on Monday, January 22! I'm still looking for host sites in the middle of the state and in the north east. Please let me know if you can share your library or recommend a library!
Also, I'm looking for information about the members of the SRC committee who presented at PaLA this fall. Would you please email me if you were on this committee?
Thank you so much!
Oh yes! And another thing-- last week Allegheny County YS Coordinator, Kelley Beeson, put together an SRC training. On the Allegheny County Library Association Youth Services Wiki, you will see a link for SRC. From there you can download program ideas and all kinds of neat stuff. If you find it helpful, please post on here or email me! kalchthaleri@einetwork.net
Thanks so much!
