January 4, 2010 Youth Services Meeting CANCELED
Due to budgetary constraints at ALS we are going to offer only four (4) Youth Services Meetings in 2010. We are hoping that small networking groups will begin to form around the system much like those the directors of the libraries attend. A new Young Adult Librarian group is already forming. We will continue to offer the Summer Reading Kickoff, the Spring Fling, a Fall program and the Holiday Craft Share-a-thon. If you have ideas for the Fall program, please contact Angie Green at ALS via email at agreen@alliancelibrarysystem.com or via phone at 309-694-9200 ext. 2108.
