YALSA ALA Wrap-UP

July 7, 2006 - Filed under: NewsStephanie Librarian @ 1:28 pm

Beth Galloway posted a presidential program overview on the YALSA Blog.

  • The upcoming year will be full of busy celebrations and projects. 2007 marks the first Teen Tech Week celebration and YALSA will turn 50 years old!
  • Judy Nelson’s new presidential focus Still Reading After All These Years challenges us to use our librarian powers to eradicate negative stereotypes about teen literature. This especially applies to the misconception that teen literature is simply “fluff and nonsense.”
  • Pam Spencer Holly’s presidential report can be downloaded in PDF format.
  • Booklists distrubted at the conference can be downloaded from YALSA. Ooooohhh, goodies!

Thanks for the report Beth! Now if I could only watch the presidential program and key conference programs online…
