Fall Youth Services Workshops

The 2020 Fall Youth Services will be all virtual, all in November! There will be 4 sessions, each 2 hours long, all on Zoom, and free. Each session will have a mix of ideas and continuing education from State Library staff and other presenters, along with lots of time for discussion, networking, and idea exchange among participants. Here’s an overview of each session; we hope to see you there!

A recap of summer 2020, the most unusual and challenging summer program ever–what worked, what didn’t work, and lessons learned; online reading program platforms; hybrid in-person/remote programs; incentives; and planning in uncertain times.

No registration is required for any of these sessions. If you can only attend part of a session, no worries! Please join for whatever time you can. Each session will have a 100 person capacity. All sessions will be recorded so that you can view them at a later time. Two hours is a long time to sit in a Zoom workshop! To help lessen the Zoom fatigue, each session will have a 10 break halfway through.
