<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">We hold an annual Teen Summit, 2018 will be our 10<sup>th</sup> anniversary! (This is in addition to 1-3 other full day events our organization runs. An annual meeting that is part business meeting, usually
a spring meeting and sometimes something else if we have a great opportunity that pops up). The Teen Summit is co-sponsored with the Rhode Island Office of Library and Information Services (hi Danielle!).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">The usual agenda is that we begin at 10am with a keynote, then offer a breakout session with 2 different presentations, lunch, another breakout session with 2 different presentations, and then some sort of
wrap-up (another speaker, a panel, etc.) and we’re done by 4. We’ve tried some different things over the years but this format works well. We get a lot of great feedback on the speakers (most of whom are MA or RI librarians who present for free, or people
from nonprofit orgs that work with teens). But most people seem to really love that there is a day just for teen librarians, they love the networking time too. Because we get between 150-200 attendees we cannot hold it in a library. The past few years it has
been in a hotel and we only charge for the cost of food. It’s usually held in the fall but we’re thinking of moving it to the spring. Here is our page and you can see the info for the past few years

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">We used to hold a summer program kickoff in the spring but it was a lot of work for not a lot of impact and so I moved to doing more comprehensive workshops in various areas around the state. I can reach more
people this way and it saves money.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">The only thing to add is that we realize just having a teen summit does not address other areas of youth services (in the same way). So we’re exploring other options and ideas. So this thread is great, thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_MailOriginalBody"><span style="color:#1F497D">I love the focus of Washington’s summit, Carolyn! Oregon does a statewide conference every other year that I’m working on for the fall, but the focus is on approx. 25 library staff
who do not have an MLIS and are in positions serving youth – targeted to our small, rural library folks. The description below is what I’m working with and I’ve attached 2016’s agenda in case it’s helpful – I don’t know if you’ll be working with folks who
don’t have much professional development experience, it’s a bit more basic than the Washington agenda, but just in case, more food for thought!
</span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-family:Wingdings;color:#1F497D">J</span><span style="color:#1F497D"> Our budget is $12,000. Previous evaluations all say the top three topics folks found most useful are: early literacy
& brain development, everyone serves teens, and best practices in teen and or storytime programming.
</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">The Oregon State Library has coordinated the Focus on Children and Young Adults Institute for 2½ days in September of even numbered years since 1996. The Focus Institute seeks to provide a foundation
of professional knowledge about youth services necessary for the operation of small, rural public libraries. Participants will attend several training sessions over the course of 2 ½ days. The sessions concentrate on the principles of public library services
to children and teens, and how to put those principles into practice. Session topics may change from year to year based on research, library practices, and trends which change and improve continually. Feedback from the previous Focus Institute participants
is also considered when planning session topics. Training sessions are presented by highly skilled, experienced Youth Services Librarians in Oregon.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">Hi Krista! That is awesome news! So Exciting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">State Library of Ohio does not host/coordinate library conferences, for the most part. We manage two leadership institutes (Library Leadership Ohio and ILEAD-USA). We lead or participate in occasional
partnership CE events (e.g. upcoming opioid crisis workshops for library staff across Ohio). And we support Take 5 through my time as planning team convener and through LSTA $, though Take 5 is not marketed as a SLO event.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">But speaking of Take 5, I do love the format of that event.
</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span> I think the last time you were able to attend was the Cincinnati event that you co-planned? It keeps evolving. Here is the program booklet from the 2017 Take 5:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"></span><a href="https://library.ohio.gov/documents/take-5-weve-going-program-booklet/"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">library.ohio.gov/documents/take-5-weve-going-program-booklet/</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">For others on YSCON: Take 5 is a one-day event for teen/youth services librarians, school librarians, and their allies who support and care about young people. This annual, grassroots-organized,
Ohio-based event grew out of practitioners’ interest in collaboration and dialogue. Take 5 offers experiential learning, hands-on activities, small-group conversations, engagement with high-level issues/trends/realities, and the opportunity to meet and learn
from allies in other fields (arts/museum, advocacy, social welfare, writing, food, therapy dogs!, etc.). Details:
</span><a href="https://library.ohio.gov/take5"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">library.ohio.gov/take5</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">. LSTA funds cover speaker expenses,
host site honorarium (Take 5 takes place at libraries and museums that do not charge us to use their space), and supplies/materials. Attendee registration fees cover all food/refreshments. It’s an inexpensive event – our total budget has never been above $3200.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">More along the lines of what Krista’s planning, I think: the Ohio Library Council (equivalent of KPLA) hosts a youth services conference, roughly biennially, in late summer/early fall. It is
a traditional format, one-day conference, with a lunch keynote speaker and 4-5 sets of breakout sessions. There is not a vendor/trade show. Here is (very limited) info about the 2018 conference, coming up on August 10:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">Attached is the agenda of the most recent OLC youth services conference, held in 2015 (I did say ROUGHLY biennially!).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">Krista, when will the KDLA youth services conference take place? OLC rescheduled from Sept. to August to avoid proximity to the ALSC Institute.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span> I need to get a move on with planning. That being said, agency-sponsored statewide conferences in the past have been exclusively focused on summer reading. However,
I would like for the next event to be broader, encompassing all aspects of youth services – with summer reading just being a piece of the pie.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">I would greatly appreciate anyone willing to share formats of statewide conferences, including days/length of time (I’m leaning towards 2 days), as well as presentation tracks and breakdown of
content/specializations by days. Also, if the event was supported by LSTA funds, what did you charge for or spend funds on (for example, part of funding would go to secure a venue, but we typically have to charge to recover meal costs).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
