Imagine a library where all staff feel empowered to submit, vote and comment on service and workflow ideas. To reach this ideal, Sno-Isle Libraries (WA) has embraced the idea management process in order to consider and approve ideas holistically, for cost, benefit and time, and before a heavy investment of resources. Sno-Isle Libraries realized that building a collaborative, transparent framework to support workflows, change, ideas and community engagement is essential to creating a culture of purposeful innovation. During this webinar, you'll gain a clear understanding of the "what" and "why" of idea management, hear lessons learned, and leave with tools to empower staff to lead from any position by sharing their ideas. 3:00-4:00 pm Eastern Time [http://www.webjunction.org/etc/designs/oclc/emailcontent/images/banner/corn…] [http://www.webjunction.org/etc/designs/oclc/emailcontent/images/banner/corn…] [http://www.webjunction.org/etc/designs/oclc/emailcontent/images/banner/corn…] [http://www.webjunction.org/etc/designs/oclc/emailcontent/images/banner/corn…] [http://www.webjunction.org/content/dam/emailcontent/callout_event_sm.gif] Thursday, March 31, 2016 Supervisor Success: Development Programs That Work<http://click.e.oclc.org/?qs=3587234fe13c30b212cf789550ccb77a1ff437f3f1d0a19…> As our profession transforms and our work changes, nurturing skillful and competent supervisors has become a priority for all types of libraries. Rising to the challenge, many people are creating and offering learning and development programs in their libraries. If you are interested in developing supervisor training programs for your library, get this one-day, free symposium on your calendar! This online event, consisting of three sessions (attend one or all), will bring together some of the most effective practices for supporting supervisor development. You'll hear from a variety of different libraries about their programs so that you can begin thinking about offering your own.

Teen Art Club
by Adrianne Schinkai 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

Hello all, I am working on developing a teen art club for our library, but I wanted to know what other libraries have done. I am looking to keep this as students who are between the 6th-12th grades, but any ideas are welcome. Do you simply provide an environment for teens to work on their own projects, such as drawing, writing, and crafts? Or do you hold a general program once a month, with different projects and materials each month? If so, what do you provide? Do you charge a small fee per participant? Where do you get your ideas? Thanks in advance for the help, advice, and feedback! -- *Adrianne M.
