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. MiYouth MiYouth Meeting Tuesday, April 8, 2025 2:00 - 3:00 PM EST Join LM's Youth Services Advisory Council (YSAC) for networking and guided discussion. This April we will have the Library of Michigan's Library Grants Coordinator, Karren Reish, as one of our guests to share updates on the Institute of Museum and Library Services and a chance for you all to discuss the impact on youth services. We'll also hear from MDE's Summer Food Service Program on summer food and libraries, and Laura Warren-Gross will share tips on MeL. Plus, the YSAC Team will have more to share!

"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
