competence in the field, strategically plan library services using the competencies, action steps to put new competency-aligned practices into place, and creating artifacts to strengthen professional portfolios. The course will not cover each competency in-depth,
but rather focus on the key competency areas, and is designed to offer both instructor- and student-led peer activities to draw on areas of expertise and support learners in areas needing development. The course instructor is<b> Amanda Yother</b>, EdD candidate
at The University of Memphis and former co-chair of the ALSC Education Committee, where she oversaw the 2020 revision of the ALSC <i>Competencies for Librarians Serving Children in Libraries</i>. She has a decade of professional experience in public libraries,
