Date: April 14th 2015

Please excuse cross-postings.

My name is Emily Moore, and I'm the Head of Youth Services at the Voorhees Branch of the Camden County Library System. I'm the Project Manager of this year’s upcoming Youth Services Forum.

 

The Youth Services Forum is a day of hot topics and issues in library services to children and young adults, sponsored by the New Jersey Library Association and the State Library of New Jersey.  This year's Forum will be held on Thursday, October 8 at the Monroe Township Public Library   I've been working with Sharon Rawlins and an awesome Planning Committee to begin to put together a wonderful schedule of presentations. It's time for us to flesh out our ideas and bring them to life with presenters - you!

If you haven’t attended in the past, take a look at last year’s info: http://njla.org/content/youth-services-forum-1  

 

We are currently looking for anyone who would be interested in presenting on the following topics:

 

Focus on Teen/Tween

  • Teen volunteers beyond summer reading.  Do you have a great structure for your teen volunteers throughout the school year?  How do you keep organized and keep them busy?
  • After Hours/Lock in programming.  Do you host programs for teens when the library is closed? 

Focus on Elementary

  • Attracting elementary-aged kids to after school programming
  • Lego Robotics

Focus on Young Children

  • iPads in storytimes
  • STEAM storytimes/crafts for preschoolers

Multiple ages

  • ESL for kids / whole family
  • Programs for kids with special needs- beyond sensory story times.  
  • Creative budgeting. Do you get sponsors for your programming? Is your library great at fundraising?  
  • Intellectual freedom for kids

 

It may seem daunting to present to a room full of peers, but the Youth Services Forum is a great place to start! It's a fulfilling experience that not only connects you to other youth services staff in the state but strengthens your resume. It's also just a perfect chance to show off the wonderful work you've been doing!  Please email/call me if you're interested in presenting on any of these topics. 

Thank you for your time. Please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me if you're interested in presenting or have any questions.
