Youth Services News Summer Reading software and more

[Dekle, Deanne, DCA]

Good Monday morning Youth Services staff!
I hope you all had a safe and wonderful weekend! Thank you to everyone who attended a SRP workshop last week, I think they were a lot of fun and quite useful for those that were there. I announced in the workshops that the State Library will be providing a Summer Reading software platform for libraries for SRP 21! My problem is, I don't know which platform and which version to go with so I'm asking for people to volunteer for a committee to help me choose! We'll look at costs, different challenges, demoes, etc. in hopes of picking the best option for the state! Just an FYI, using whichever software will be completely voluntary and there will be A LOT of training for people so you feel comfortable (that's why we're starting so early, gives us ample time for training). If you're interested in serving on this committee, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/132S7qJkJYmqCkDb8. I'm looking for 8-10 people and we'll get started in the new year.

There won't be a Youth Services Zoom tomorrow, we'll also resume those in the new year (January 4th will be our next meeting).

And a reminder that SRP 21 manuals went out about a week and a half ago and I know a lot of libraries have received theirs. If you do not receive yours by the end of the year, please let me know! And another reminder that if you lose yours, I will not be able to replace it for several months (I'm not allowed in the office unless it's "critical") so please keep ahold of your USBs!

I hope you all have a happy holiday, please stay safe, follow the Governor's guidelines and enjoy an extra day off this week!
