Good morning Youth Services staff!
Thank you to all who attended the meeting today! It's always so good to see you all (even if it's just seeing names), and really is the highlight of my week! I actually remembered to record today's meeting and you can find it and a copy of the chat at this link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FYO2xNwBvovY14WKJaD21ZEkA9bfwfaZ.

One of the big things we discussed today is the amazing New Mexico Library Foundation through a very generous grant is funding some virtual performances this summer! Explora is going to make 6 STEM/STEAM videos for us- 3 different fairy tales and a video on each for little kids and one for older kids! And Andy Mason is going to take over 5 library Facebook pages! You will either make him an admin on your page or give him a temporary password and he will do a Facebook Live performance as the library! Your patrons can watch live, request songs, talk to him and he'll give stuff away! This is a FREE program to you (thanks to the NMLF), you just have to have a Facebook page for the library (a page, not a profile) and a willingness to let him take it over for about an hour! I'll get the schedule of all 5 libraries and share it out statewide so that people can watch, even if they're not your patrons. If your library is not one of the ones chosen, I recommend sharing it out so your patrons and FB followers can still participate. If your library is interested in being one of these 5, please fill out this Google Form by Friday 3 p.m. https://forms.gle/Rtex2ZoLLXCCUS4P9 and I'll pick 5 libraries and we'll go from there!

For those libraries participating in the statewide reading log, please accept the Google Group invite, that's the only place I'll be sharing information on so if you're not there, you will not get emails and info. I'm planning on holding a Zoom later this week (I'll record if you can't make it) to go over details and share out some information, so PLEASE accept the invitation I sent out last week. If you are one of  those libraries that hasn't accepted but it participating in the program and never received the invite, let me know ASAP!

If you have any questions about anything, let me know! Have a great Tuesday everyone!
