[LM_NET] YALSA to host online chat on Summer Reading Programs

[Stephanie Kuenn <skuenn@ALA.ORG>]

Greetings! This is sent on behalf of YALSA President Sarah Debraski.
Please forward to interested parties. 

On June 9 YALSA hosted an online chat about the economy
<http://yalsa.ala.org/blog/2009/06/10/yalsa-chat-on-the-economy-librarie
s-yalsa-the-transcript/>  and its impact on libraries, teen services,
and you. The chat was a great experience-I really enjoyed hearing so
many different voices chime in, and the opportunity to answer questions
in real time. This was definitely the sort of thing that I believe is
"engaging the YALSA community"! It seemed clear that more online chats
were in YALSA's future and so I'd like to announce our next one:

On Wednesday, July 1, 8-9pm EST YALSA will host an online chat for YALSA
members in ALA Connect. The topic for this chat will be Summer Reading
Programs for teens. We invite you to drop in, share ideas of what has
worked for you (and hasn't!) and what you've got planned for this
summer. To participate in the chat you simply need to login to
ALAConnect with your ALA member # and password at
http://connect.ala.org/yalsa. 

We'd also like to get your suggestions for future chat topics. Please
leave your suggestions by commenting at the YALSA blog,
http://yalsa.ala.org/blog/2009/06/17/next-yalsa-online-chat/.

Thanks and I look forward to chatting with you on July 1!

Sarah Debraski
YALSA President
