Last week, I was fortunate enough to attend the last of six Youth Services workshops being held around the state. The College Hill Library in Westminster hosted (and couldn’t have been more gracious), and I do believe a great time was had by all.
In the morning, Kathy Barco from the Albuquerque Public Library presented ideas for 2010 summer reading, including decorations, crafts, celebrations, activities, refreshments, programs, and more. The themes are “Make a Splash @ Your Library” (children) and “Make Waves @ Your Library” (teens).
The afternoon included discussion of after-school programming, a report on the LSTA Early Literacy (CLEL) Storytime grants, an update on State Library youth services initiatives, and of course distribution of the 2010 statewide summer reading program manuals.
Here are some of the photos I took during the day. Enjoy!
