<p class="MsoNormal"><b>January YALSA Webinar</b> <b>How to Engage Teens Through Family Programming<br>
</b><i>Jan. 9, 2020, 2PM EST</i><br>
In this webinar, facilitators will discuss how adult and youth services personnel from rural Benson Memorial Library (Titusville, PA) have developed all-ages family oriented programming that is possible and affordable for any library. By joining adult and youth
services departments together to implement programs, libraries have the opportunity to increase engagement, participation, and positive feedback throughout the community. Facilitators will explain some of the unique programs provided including writing, history,
science, technology, and more. <a href="http://www.ala.org/yalsa/onlinelearning/webinar#Upcoming%20Live%20Webinars">

<p class="MsoNormal">2:00 PM ET<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will discuss how Clinton-Macomb Public Library went from little school outreach to developing a streamlined plan that allows us to see over 20,000 students a year. Specifically, we will focus on how developing curriculum-based, grade
specific programs helped us to appeal to teachers and administrators while still attracting students to participate. These strategies can be adapted to serve communities of any size. Additionally, we will talk about the differences between curriculum-based
school outreach and relationship-based school outreach as well as how to meet the need of schools from varying socioeconomic backgrounds.<o:p></o:p></p>
