Please mark September 24 and 25 for the 2008 State-wide Family Place program. We will begin around 1 on Wednesday afternoon and finish with lunch on Thursday. The tentative agenda is
Wednesday afternoon join Norm Maas, Director of the Norfolk, VA Library and one of his children's librarians. They will be talking about the Kids Zones they have created in their library branches and how Family Place has helped them leverage money and clout in the early childhood arena. This would be a good program for directors to attend. The second half of the afternoon will be a make and take program for parent programs and a time for sharing.
Thursday morning join Sally Anderson, Executive Director of the Vermont Center for the Book. She will be doing a three hour training on What's the Big Idea? kits for libraries and for take home. Each Family Place Library will have access to at least one of the full librarian kits (probably going to be distributed on a county basis). Each FP library that attends the program will receive one of at least 6 of the take home kits. For more information on this program visit http://bigidea.mothergooseprograms.org/ .
I will reimburse mileage for one vehicle and provide one double room per per FP library. Breakfast and lunch on Thursday will be provided. Dinner Wednesday night will be on your own. The program will be held at the Grantville Holiday Inn.
I plan to send registration forms out in July.

Fundraising idea
Dear Youth Services Division Members,
In the past, people have asked about how they can be more involved in Youth Services Division. I also remember that we as a division have a hard time raising money for things like training and workshops – which is at the core of our division mission. So, I contemplated what we can all do together to solve these two issues and I came up with what I think is a really fun idea: a silent auction.
How you can be involved: think up something to donate, such as a “program in a box;” “a mini vacation in a bag;” or something, anything, that you think that will be useful or fun for a fellow librarian (remember those non-youth services folks too!). Imagination and creativity are the only limits. Package it up in a creative way that will entice someone to bid on your donation, write up a brief description and bring it with you to the PaLA Convention in November.
We will set up all of the donated items in the PaLA bookstore with bidding sheets. As folks peruse the store, they can write their bids on the sheets. At the end of the allotted time, we shall announce the winners and collect the bids – all for the Youth Services Division.
If you cannot attend the convention, but still wish to contribute, that’s great! Send items to: Denise Pulgino Stout, Montgomery County-Norristown Public Library, 1001 Powell Street, Norristown PA 19401 and I will bring it to the convention for you.
Please email back to me if you are interested in participating in this fun project. We need your contact information and the approximate idea behind your donation. I know that many of you are incredibly creative and can come up with some cool ideas that others will be interested in bidding on. I also know that your generosity is endless and we youth services folks can gather together to help our organization do some great things if we come together – while having a little fun along the way!
If you are interested in helping to set up the auction, I can use your help. Just let me know via email and you’re volunteered.
Thanks a bunch for considering this idea and I look forward to hearing from folks and feedback it will garner.

Priestley Forsyth Memorial Library
Some terrific things are happening at Priestley Forsyth Memorial Library:
We are getting ready to start a new TAG and make a new area for teens. We went to the workshop in the fall and won a really cool table which we have installed two laptops on. We're excited about it.
I have another resource I thought was important. I found a website that gives out free seeds ( well, almost free, you have to pay shpg./handling charges). It is called the America The Beautiful Fund and they will send packets of seeds with a request letter from your organization. We sent one last week so children could get a packet of seeds with their Up, Down, All Around book at our library events.
Just thought you might want to share with others and I thought this was a cool place to do it.

News from Susan Pannebaker
I wanted to thank everyone who contributed suggestions for future summer reading slogans and themes. I have forwarded them to the Collaborative. The Collaborative meets the end of April and I will let you know in May the slogan for 2010 and the theme for 2011.
I have a couple of other things I would like to share:
This spring there will be four workshops being held in the East on the Mother Goose on the Loose program by the creator of the book of the same title Betsy Diamont Cohen. The workshops will be held in libraries in York on April 28, State College on April 29, Wilkes-Barre on April 30 and Haverford on May 1. Registration forms will come out in early March. Only forty people will be able to attend each session due to limited space in the libraries. Part of the program will be Betsy doing a session of the program with a group of local preschoolers.
For those of you who do not belong to the Association for Library Service to Children and don’t receive Children and Libraries you may want to go on POWER Library’s Professional Development Collection database and find the Winter 07 issue of the journal. This issue focuses entirely on children with special needs. The first article is a great bibliography by an education professor on books that show children with particular disabilities. It lists over 300 titles on everything from autism to ADD. The author feels it is very important that children be able to see themselves in books. To get to a specific issue click publications then type the title of the journal in the browse box. Click on the title when it appears and then click on 2007 to open that year and then click on winter and the entire issue will appear. This is a great way to read through current issues of not only Children and Libraries, but also Horn Book, School Library Journal and YALSA’s journal.

Hello Out There!
Monday, November 26, 2007
Update!
It has been a long time since my last post and I have a lot to cover!
First of all, a million thank yous to the Conference Committee and all of the presenters at the 2007 Annual Conference. Speaking for myself, and after looking over the conference evaluations, it was an incredible success and an informative and entertaining time for all!
At the Youth Services Division Business meeting, I had stated that Mary Maxson will be unable to take on her position as Chair of the Youth Services Division of PaLA. At the meeting I had stated that I would stay on as Chair and work closely with Vice-Chair Denise Pulgino-Stout for 2008.
After reflecting on this wonderful organization, however, and talking with Denise, I realized that there is no way I would be able to do another term justice. Denise has agreed to take on the role as Chair for 2008, I will serve as Vice Chair and then, during election time, we will elect a new Chair and new Vice-Chair.
Many thanks to all of you who passed along the names of individuals for the Carolyn Field Committee and for possible candidiates for YSD officers next year. Many thanks also for the wonderful support you all have given as I have tried to serve this organization well. It has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my library career, as I have had the opportunity to work with all of you, very gracious and gifted people.
This week I will be attending the PaLA Leadership Conference and look forward to seeing some of you and passing the torch to Denise!
This week I will post photos from the conference!
Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,
ing
