Save the date for the annual Youth Services Workshop–November 8 from 9:30-3:30 at the Chippewa Valley Technical College’s Energy Education Center in Eau Claire.

Join us for a wonderful day of swapping ideas and thinking deeply about youth services, with some special attention to serving preschoolers, the summer library program, and outreach.  We’ll hear from Brooke Newberry (Winding Rivers Library System), a nationally recognized expert in service to babies, toddlers, and preschoolers and their families; then from Kristi Helmkamp (Beloit Public Library) and Alicia Woodland (Appleton Public Library) about their summer programs and outreach for school age kids and teens.  You’ll have a chance to do some hands-on play with outer-space-related projects with NASA-trained educator Marguerite Blodgett (Boyceville Public Library) and have discussions about topics of interest to you!  Watch for more details and registration information, coming soon, but make plans in your schedule now so you can join us for a terrific day.
