Difficult Decision Making: When to Allow In-Person Programming – ALSC Blog
"As a Youth and Family Services Manager, I make decisions all the time. But to be honest, the most difficult decision I have ever made was deciding to cancel all of our summer in person programming. As many of you who program for families
know, the summer is our busiest season. It’s truly the time for public libraries to shine, to showcase their offerings, to provide something special and hook new users, and to engage with the community. So, it’s incredibly difficult to make the decision to
not offer in-person programming during that time."
2020 YA Services Symposium Going Virtual
In response to the current public health climate, YALSA's Board of Directors have decided that the in-person symposium scheduled to take place November 6 – 8, 2020, in Reno will shift to a virtual event. More information about programs and registration will
be announced in the coming weeks.
