<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, State Library Agency Youth Consultants! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As part of its year-long National Forum on Libraries and Teens project, YALSA will host a Teens & Libraries Summit Jan. 23-24, 2013, in Seattle. The Summit will feature speakers, panels and small group discussion to examine the current
state of library services for and with young adults, and to explore how library services may need to evolve to meet the needs of 21<sup>st</sup> century adolescents. Funds provided by IMLS will be used to cover the cost of travel and related expenses for
15 applicants who wish to participate in the Summit. Key stakeholders from the areas of libraries, education, technology, adolescent development and the for-profit and nonprofit sectors are encouraged to apply—including you!--by Nov. 1, 2012. The 15 accepted
applicants will join with approximately 35 other stakeholders at the face-to-face Summit. At the conclusion of the year-long Forum, YALSA will produce a white paper which will provide direction on how library services for and with teens needs to adapt and
potentially change to better meet the needs of 21<sup>st</sup> century teens. Learn more and access the application at:
