<b>YALSA Update</b><br>
Speaking of YALSA, you have likely read by now that <strong><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">ALSC and YALSA, the ALA’s two youth services divisions, plan to merge in 2026</span></strong>. Both divisions originally grew out of the Association of
Young People's Librarians and have been separate divisions since 1957. You can read about the planned reunification of these divisions on the
<a href="https://www.ala.org/alsc/aboutalsc/historyofalsc/reunification-faqs"><span style="color:#298085">ALSC/YALSA Reunification FAQ page</span></a> and this

Whether you are an ALA member and a member of YALSA and/or ALSC, or none of the above, these two national bodies supporting children’s and teen library services have individually provided copious resources and leadership. Will share any further updates in the

<b>How Libraries Can Promote Computational Thinking and Learning Among Preschool Families with Work It Out @ Your Library<br>
PLA Webinar</b><br>
<b>July 30 – 2:00 pm ET</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#202020">Work It Out @ Your Library! is a new program for librarians and families built around Work It Out Wombats!, the national PBS Kids television series for four- to six-year-olds. The first public media series to
promote computational thinking to preschoolers, Work It Out Wombats! follows the adventures of Malik, Zadie, and Zeke, a trio of marsupial siblings who live with their grandmother and an array of diverse friends and neighbors in a fantastical treehouse apartment
complex called the Treeborhood. Through hands-on activities, library storytime sessions, animated videos, and a family app (all available free of charge), Work It Out @ Your Library is a flexible program helps library staff guide families through the exploration
of computational thinking (CT for short). <b>Learn more and register here</b>: <a href="https://ala-events.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_2GCBo5ChRzikIFjWwWSQPQ#/registration">

<p class="MsoNormal">This year’s <i><a href="https://www.aecf.org/resources/2025-kids-count-data-book">Data Book<span style="font-style:normal"> </span></a></i>tells a mixed story — steady progress in some areas, setbacks in others and opportunities to do better
for kids and families. Among all four domains, Education saw the biggest decline — 3 out of 4 education indicators worsened since 2019. However, serious challenges remain as 16% of children still live in poverty, and nearly 1 in 3 children live in households
struggling with high housing costs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Where a child lives continues to matter deeply, with stark geographic disparities shaped by local and state policies, economic conditions, community investment and infrastructure. These gaps aren’t just between states, however: they show
up between neighborhoods and ZIP codes. Be sure to check out Michigan’s Kids Count® Data Book:
