Hi! I just received the latest newsletter from ALA's Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). Here are a few things you may be interested in:

New! Collection Development Grant
YALSA's Margaret Edwards Collection Development Grant awards $5,000 for a school or public library to use towards improving or expanding its teen collection. Funds may be used for print, non-print and/or digital materials. All personal YALSA members who represent a public library or school library are eligible to apply. Up to four grants will be awarded in 2014.  All applicants must be current personal members of ALA/YALSA at the time the application is submitted.  Applications must be submitted by Dec. 1 via the online form<http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/Sd6YhVG0Qbeeg2um7IetcD869> http://ow.ly/xwVn4

Host a VIP this Summer!
Members of Congress need to see first-hand all the great ways libraries create opportunities for teens to keep learning over the summer.  YALSA's Legislation Committee has created some great tips and resources to help libraries participate in "District Days."  http://wikis.ala.org/yalsa/index.php/District_Days
