YALSA holds e-chats on the first Wednesday of each month from 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern in its space in ALA Connect. Can't make the e-chat? The transcript will be posted online the next day at the YALSA Blog.
This chat, held Aug. 5 from 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern, will give YALSA members a chance to talk about risk in libraries and how they make risk work for them in their careers and work with teens. It will also be a time for participants to ask questions about risk-taking and libraries. Connie Urquhart, Fresno County Public Library, and Linda Braun, YALSA President will facilitate the discussion.
Connie and Linda hope you'll think about these topics:
Come enjoy a panel discussion at McCormick West W-490b where successful TAG leaders and members talk about how to shape your TAG so that it grows leaders and produces innovative programs!
