Director of Youth Services - York County Libraries (PA) Where your story begins... York County Libraries<http://www.yorklibraries.org/> (PA) seeks an engaging and experienced advocate for children and young adults as its next Director of Youth Services. Working with strategic partners throughout York County, the Director of Youth Services will seek to lead and participate in community initiatives to achieve the Library's goals of supporting teens, children, and families. Located in south-central Pennsylvania, York County is situated on the northern Maryland border, covers roughly 900 square miles, and serves a population of 437,846 residents with 13 full-service public libraries and two satellite locations. YCL is a federated library system comprised of eight branch and five-member libraries with a combined operating budget of $7M. YCL directly employs 109 staff at ten of its thirteen libraries and another 35 employees at its contract sites. More than 35% of York County residents hold library cards and annually borrow 1.2 million items. The YCL Youth Services team provides early literacy programs, free play areas, digital and online resources, and year-round activities for youth throughout the county, including 1000 Books Before Kindergarten, GOAL Grade One at the Library-an annual reading campaign for first graders, Sensory Story Times, the SummerQuest summer reading program, Library Tales for Tails therapy dog reading sessions and the award-winning program, Beyond Our Walls: Read Me a Story, which provides incarcerated individuals the option to record themselves reading a story to be shared with their children. YES: Youth Empowerment Summit, YCL's annual countywide initiative focused on high school teens, highlights career planning and leadership building. Part of the Story inspires and captures compelling issues of our teen population through programs, workshops, and facilitated group sessions. YCL is currently renovating and expanding three of its library facilities, creating dedicated spaces for teens and expanding children's areas at all three locations. Quality delivery of youth services is a hallmark of the YCL mission. There is no better place to live than historic York County - nestled in the Susquehanna River Valley of South-Central Pennsylvania-York offers big-city amenities with small-town charm. While continuing to embrace its agricultural roots, the county also has evolved into a manufacturing and business hub. Major companies with roots in York County include Harley-Davidson, York Barbell, Voith Hydro, York International, Utz Quality Foods, Snyder's of Hanover, and BAE Systems. A bustling local economy has made York one of the fastest-growing counties in Pennsylvania. York also has great schools, a low cost of living, quality health care, and boundless entertainment opportunities. York has seen the emergence of cultural events and movements, art exhibits and shops, multiple music and performance venues, industrial street art, family events, children's activities, "foodie" delights from festivals to underground restaurants, and more. York has become a place where you can have it all: a challenging and rewarding career, deep friendships, engaging social life, valuable education, family-friendly activities, and a great place to call home. The region is only a short drive away from Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. Responsibilities: The Director of Youth Services (DYS) must have a vision for planning innovative, diverse, and collaborative programs and services for YCL. Demonstrating strategic agility, superior listening skills, ability to manage with ambiguity, flexibility to see opportunity in diverse situations, and political savvy to build strong relationships, the DYS works closely and collaboratively with key stakeholders and partners throughout the County serving as an advocate for children and young adults. The Director also participates in the hiring, training, and supervising of all YCL youth services staff and is a key member of the library's leadership team. A focus on customer service is essential to the success of this position. Qualifications: Minimum requirements for the position include an MLS degree from an ALA-accredited program, a minimum of 5 years of progressively responsible experience in a library setting, and three years of supervisory experience in a public library. Essential attributes and skills include a comprehensive knowledge of current trends and practices in youth services; a demonstrated ability to plan, implement, and measure performance goals; and experience in both urban and rural library settings. Child Abuse Clearance, Pennsylvania Criminal History Check, FBI Criminal Record Check, and Mandated Reporter Training are required. Compensation. The starting salary range for the position is $70,000 - $75,000 (with placement dependent upon experience and qualifications) and an attractive benefits package.

Substitute Pools
by Deb Hemmye 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

I'm on a TLN (The Library Network) committee that is looking into establishing a pool of substitute clerks and substitute librarians for our members. Do any of you have experience with establishing or using a substitute pool? Some of our early questions are: * How and where do you hold the candidates' information (separate website, consortium or library website, something else)? * What information do you find most helpful to know about each candidate? * Are candidates vetted before becoming part of the pool? If so, who does this? Does vetting include a background check? * How long does a candidate stay on your list or in your database? * Are people ever removed from the list? How? Why? * How many libraries/branches participate in your pool? Many thanks!

MeL Minute: Secondary PE eRsources in MeL
by Ann Kaskinen 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

[A picture containing text, clipart, sign Description automatically generated]Physical Education is an integral part of the K-12 curriculum throughout Michigan. While most of the Academic Standards for PE<https://www.michigan.gov/mde/-/media/Project/Websites/mde/2019/02/22/K_12_P…> are focused on actual physical activity, there are some moments when no-dress days happen and physical activity for students is not possible. Maybe it’s raining, snowing, or sleeting and that day’s activity must be indoors. Perhaps the gymnasium has been closed because of a local election taking place. Occasionally, individual students may have forgotten gym clothes or sustained an injury. Whatever the case, the Michigan eLibrary<https://mel.org/welcome> (MeL) has many eResources for regular and alternative PE assignments. Current Events Standard 4.2 in the high school PE Academic Standards asks students to explore sports as current events and consider moral and ethical conduct in specific, competitive situations. Last month, men’s and women’s March Madness brackets would certainly have offered some ripe investigations. Dozens of full-text articles<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> on gambling and sports are available in MAS Complete<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…> as well as pro/con articles, infographics, statistics and video clips in Gale in Context: Opposing Viewpoint<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=ov…> and Points of View Reference Center<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…>. This month, The Masters Tournament can be explored through articles in Golf Magazine<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, Sports Illustrated<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, and Golf Digest<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>—publications currently available in MasterFILE Complete<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…>. Dance I have not-so-fond memories of holding the sweaty palms of my middle school classmates as we promenaded around the gym, learning about square dancing. Dance is still an important part of secondary education. In Standard 2.4 students are asked to identify examples of social and technical dance forms. Further, the Level 2 outcome of S2.4 pushes students to compare similarities and differences between these forms. Britannica School<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=eb> offers a wide range of dance<https://school.eb.com/levels/high/article/dance/110116> content, including images and video clips. Students can investigate further, reading about various dances<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> in the eBook High School Collection<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…>. Finally, Dance Magazine<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>, a publication in MAS Complete, gives contemporary information regarding the dance community. History Standard 2.1 invites students to explore the historical and cultural role of games, sports, and dance in a society. The eBook High School Collection has a wide range of titles<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> to support this endeavor, including Tennis: A History from American Amateurs to Global Professionals<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>; Game of Privilege: An African American History of Golf<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>; Hockey: A Global History<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>; and American Sports in an Age of Consumption: How Commercialization is Changing the Game<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…>.

Working in multiple genres, Oomen explores the nature of relationships, the natural world, and personal transformation. The Michigan Notable Book program is sponsored in part by the Library of Michigan Foundation, Michigan Center for the Book, and Michigan Humanities.
