The Spring Institute 2014 workgroup seeks a variety of proposals that will represent the wide range of needs and responsibilities of those in youth services. We encourage participation from all types of libraries (including but not limited to large libraries or library systems, small or rural libraries, and school libraries) and job responsibilities (including but not limited to children’s or teen services, librarians, staff, and administrators). Proposals will be accepted through October 23, 2013.
