Hello staff! We wanted to report in about a professional development opportunity from earlier this month. Elisabeth Wright (VI), Claudia Farias-Cowling (AL), Kassy Nicholson (NW) and I attended the Young Adult Library Services Association Symposium in Louisville, KY from November 3-5. The focus for this year’s conference was helping all teens build a better future and brought together several hundred public and school librarians, educators, students, publishers, and authors for the common goal of helping libraries support the needs of teens in our communities. We’re going to share the highlights and summaries of some of the best sessions we attended. Let us know what you think in the comments. – Emily Williams (EPD)

I had the opportunity to attend the Library Design Institute, a two-day event created by Library Journal and hosted by the Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) System in Columbus, Ohio.

Hi staff! We wanted to report in about a professional development opportunity from last month. Tim Rogers, Kristin Williamson, and I attended the Public Library Think Tank presented by Library Journal and School Library Journal in Miami from March 9-10. The focus for this small conference was on what "literacy" means today and how libraries can be leaders in initiatives to foster literacy in all its forms in our communities.
