We're Navagating Library Management and Teen Services:

Fer ye library hands who man the deck wit' Teens,

  • ONE PIECE & OTHER MANGA: Starting a Teen Otaku Club @Your Library
  • LOST BOYS & GIRLS: Marketing to Teens
Fer ye library managers and other Scallywags in Charrrge,

  • WALK THE PLANK: Effective Employee Evaluations
  • RUNNING A TIGHT SHIP: Holding Effective Meetings
All current PaLA SCC Members on deck for the day will go home wit' loot, which might translate to bounty at the PaLA Annual Conference in State College - look fore t' details on that. Also, meet the crew who lead this ship, and perhaps the Pirates taking over in 2008.

The workshop fee is $20 for PaLA Members and $26 for non-PaLA Members. There is a $1. daily parking fee. The registration deadline be Friday, Septemberrrr 7.

And now for some of the clear-language particularrrrs:

  • This program is appropriate for all types of Librarians: Academic, School, Special and Public.
  • Attendees earn 3 hours of CE,
  • Each teen session qualifies for 1.5 hours of Act 48 credit; to be eligible, you must have your PP ID# at registration.
  • This event has been partially funded with Federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds administered by the Office Of Commonwealth Libraries and would not have been possible without the help of the College & Research Division, PaLA.
Hope t' see you thar!
