<p>Wow! Jasmine! What an amazing dream-come-true for your husband, and enormous changes ahead for you as well - I hope and expect they will be all good, and that your new adventures and home in North Carolina are delightful.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have my fingers crossed that you stay in the library field, and preferably in a role where you can keep your nationwide connections and activities going. Thank you for all the time, care, and heart you have put into CSLP and into supporting your YSCON
community. I hope you will keep us posted on where the journey takes you.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Onward!</p>

of becoming a commercial pilot so we will be moving to North Carolina (likely the Raleigh-Durham area) early next September. Of course, I will be looking for a new job in a library as they are truly my passion, but I’m willing to work wherever I can to support
us (I’ll be the sole income earner while my husband is in flight school). Working with this incredibly diverse and amazingly talented group of people has been an honor.

of library and information science are looking at how to re-imagine their curricula for pre-service library staff, it is also essential that at the same time there is a united effort to develop strategic directions for cultivating the skills of those already
working in the field. SLA staff play a critical leadership role in the development and delivery of library-related continuing education (CE) to front line library staff. By gathering together a youth services representative from each of the 50 SLAs and other
key stakeholders to inform the development of a report that sets a national agenda on continuing education for teen services, YALSA and COSLA will achieve the first step toward developing a coordinated, efficient, and effective process for transforming teen
services throughout the U.S., so that teen programs and services enhance civic and cultural engagement, facilitate lifelong learning, promote digital inclusion, and support economic vitality.</span></p>
