<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><a href="https://takeyourchildtothelibrary.org/">Take Your Child to the Library Day</a>, an international celebration that encourages families to take their children to their local public library. Take Your
Child to the Library Day is held annually on the first Saturday of February. To celebrate, libraries across the country and around the world welcome families with programs, activities, and special events. Since 2011, more than 1,735 libraries have participated,
serving 56.54 million people and drawing attention to the importance of the library in the lives of children.
<br>
Last year, the Take Your Child to the Library Day team launched a new public-facing website:
<a href="https://takeyourchildtothelibrary.org/">takeyourchildtothelibrary.org</a>. The site features information about Take Your Child to the Library Day and the benefits of libraries for children, including an interactive map for families to find a participating
library near them. Coming soon is a librarian resource page with information and tools to make participating even easier.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Join the growing LM cohort of Transforming Teen Services as we explore YALSA’s core concepts of “Connected Learning” and “Computational Thinking,” discuss how public libraries are already using it, and how
to implement it in library communities. Discussion will center on the use of these practices to support equity in youth programming. Breakouts will further best practices regarding trending topics related to teen services. Participants are encouraged to
bring examples of their work with teens and discussion questions! <br>
