The MiYouth discussion today began with a Surge Capacity Check-in, in our breakout rooms:

Accept that life is different right now.
Expect less from yourself.
Recognize the different aspects of grief.
Experiment with “both-and” thinking.
Look for activities, old and new, that continue to fulfill you.
Focus on maintaining and strengthening important relationships.
Begin slowly building your resilience bank account.

Next MeL Coordinator Liz Breed shared with us how to access NoveList Themes - http://bit.ly/MeLNoveListThemes.

Finally we closed with breakout rooms to share our favorite 2020 reads! Take a look at our shared notes at: http://bit.ly/MiYouth_1_13_21. There are also boxes open for you to list any books in our “mock” awards lists for the ALA Youth Media Awards on January 25^th. Feel free to add your guesses in the notes!!!

Thank you,
