Lots of Stuff!
First of all, I hope that you are keeping warm! Currently in Pittsburgh, it is 2 degrees. Joy!
Second-- a reminder from an email Paula Gilbert sent out about the Early Learning Forum and Best Practices Awards Lunch - MARCH 21 at the Harrisburg Hilton from 9 AM - 3 PM. Don't miss out!
Third-- Mary Morgan Smith, Head of Children's Services at Northland Library recently shared a local dry cleaner approached her last summer about donating 2 new bikes to give away for Summer Reading prizes. Needless to say these were a HUGE draw, a big hit! In talking with the dry cleaner, Mary found out that dry cleaners are a very generous group and want to give back to the community. Mary's particular dry cleaner got the bike idea from another dry cleaner in Boston. She has also been in touch with other dry cleaners in PA and is encouraging them to contact their local libraries to see what they can donate for SRC. (who knows, one of us may get a call!) Does anyone else have any other dry cleaner stories? Is this a project that we could organize state wide? Let me know what you know and/or think! kalchthaleri@einetwork.net.
Fourth-- Don't forget about the Spring Cont Education Workshops. We are so excited to have just gotten word that Pittsburgh businessman David W. Hunter will helping to refray the costs of the workshops. Many thanks to Mr. Hunter for his generosity toward this endeavor. And many, many thanks to our presenters and wonderful host libraries! I will be turning the registration flyer in to Ellen at PaLA this week and they will be mailed to your soon. But save the dates now! Thank you to all of you who sent emails and questions about the workshops. It should be a great experience for all!
Fifth-- PaLA Program Proposals, please (that's a lot of alliteration) email them to kalchthaleri@einetwork.net by Feb. 23 so that they can be "sponsored" by the YS Division. Many wonderful proposals have been received already, please, keep them coming! If you sent a proposal but did not receive an email from me in response, please send it again, as the SPAM filter is quite strong!
And sixth and last--just finished the March PaLA newsletter article which will share all of YOUR amazing programming ideas. Look here next week though for even more information and photos. If you have more intergenerational programming ideas you would like to share, please email me and I will include them here.
Have a great week and stay warm!

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

The presenter for this year's Educator's workshop is Bill Harley!!! Yes, that's right THE Bill Harley of CD and picture book fame, storyteller and songwriter, extraordinaire.
I have attached the flyer and application for this event. It will be held on March 30th (Friday) at NCC's Southside Campus.
Please share this information with every educator you know. And visit www.geocities.com/lvstorytellers for more information about other events at the festival.

Thanks to Denise!
Denise, I saw your comment on here and tried to email you but maybe it went to spam! I will call this week! Thank you so much!

Happy New Year!
Here is to an exciting year ahead! Best wishes to all of you!
This week I'd like to give an update on the 2008 Carolyn Field Committee.
The list of publishers has been cleaned up and updated - just finished last week! Many thanks to Nancy McLaughlin from the Bethel Park Library for checking all of the publishers and their current addresses, phone numbers, etc. This will help in the future.
If you have served on the Carolyn Field Committee in the past, would you please send me an email: kalchthaleri@einetwork.net or post your name on here? I would like to keep a list of those who have served. Also to help out the future Field Chairs, please send me an email if you would like to serve on the committee in the future.
The 2008 Chair is Dolores Colarosa, Head of Youth Services at Brentwood Library. Serving with her on the committee are: Clio Hathaway, Martin Library; Andrea Mandel, Marple Public Library; Karen Payonk, Lititz Public Library; Nell Redhage, Chester County Library.
If I got any of this info wrong, please let me know and I will edit.
Please pass on Dolores' name to any authors or publishers you know if they wish to submit a book for consideration. These would be books published in 2007. Her contact info is: Dolores Colarosa, Head of Children's Services, Brentwood Public Library, 3501 Brownsville Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15227, 412-882-5694. Her email is: colarosad@einetwork.net.
