<h1>Transforming Teen Services – YALSA <o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Need ideas for teen programming? Come explore Youth Voice & Choice at this workshop via a framework for teen services called Connected Learning (CL) that uses the building blocks of teen interests, relationships
with peers and caring adults and opportunities (from college and career to leadership and civic engagement). This workshop will also cover the basics of Computational Thinking (CT), which is a problem-solving framework, not coding or computer science -- and
no technology is required! This is a great way for library staff who are less comfortable with tech to build STEM programs. This workshop is participatory & hands-on, and will help participants scaffold knowledge they may already have about CL and CT and use
it to recognize the ways in which CT supports CL.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>A free PLA webinar series<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Libraries respond to the needs of our communities, and communities all over the world have experienced an elevated level of trauma and stress over the past few years. As we continue to serve the public in these challenging times, library
workers must adapt, pivoting to incorporate Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into the work we do with families every day. In many cases, we are already using SEL in our work. This free webinar series will cover key SEL concepts and how to integrate them into
library programs and activities. Book lists and other resources will be provided, and each session will include a calming mindfulness exercise for attendees. Learn more at:
