<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I guess now is a good a time as any to let this group as a whole know that I will be leaving my position at the South Dakota State Library in mid/late August. My husband is going to be pursing
his life-long dream 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.

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I’ve only sent this to the YSCON group (+ Denise, who already knew) but I will be letting the CSLP State Reps know soon as well. I’ve let my supervisor know about this amazing opportunity and
I will definitely be leaving some information for whoever my replacement will be.

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Because I’ve known this was coming since last fall, I have volunteered South Dakota to host the November YSCON call, and I think the “new me” will be plenty settled in by then to host that.

consultants! Basically, YALSA will being bringing us all together to talk (face to face!!!) and learn about continuing education and teen services.

Future of Library Services for and with Teens: A Call to Action”</span></a> outline a new vision for public libraries and teen services that can only be achieved by building the knowledge and skills of library staff. While some schools 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><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
