A special thank you to LM’s Youth Services Advisory Council for facilitating today’s MiYouth with me, and to all who attended and contributed. It means a lot to so many to have a space to share and connect. All the slides and today’s screen
shots are located in the
MiYouth April 2025 folder. As always, feel free to reach out to me with any questions or for any library youth services needs.
Thank you,

Subject: Reminder: MiYouth meeting on April 8th
Just a note that today, April 1, 2025, is our 5-year anniversary of the very first MiYouth meeting! We have come through a lot as a youth services community and I’m looking forward
to connecting with you all next week. Please bring a fun prop (puppet, music maker, hat, etc) to share as we will celebrate 5 years of MiYouth together next week on Zoom.

“The thing I remember best about successful people I’ve met all through the years
is their obvious delight in what they’re doing … and it seems to have very little to do with worldly success. They just love what they’re doing, and they love it in front of others.”
~ Fred Rogers
