[MLA PPS] Learn About The Mass Center for the Book's 2024 Reading Challenge

Learn about the Mass Center for the Book's 2024 Reading Challenge and how your library can participate! Led by Karolina Zapal, Program Coordinator for the Mass Center for the Book.

Mass Center for the Book is excited to launch the second installment of its Commonwealth-wide Reading Challenge, and Massachusetts libraries are once again invited to be a Reading Partner for the Challenge. This Reading Challenge gives people of all ages (yes, adults!) a chance to set and meet the goal of reading a book each month in a specific category and to share their experience within their reading community. There are no formal requirements for libraries to become a Reading Partner -- the Center just asks that libraries promote the Reading Challenge to their local community. Displays, programming, and other initiatives relating to the Challenge would be up each library, based on what works best for them. The 2023 Reading Challenge, which is drawing to a close, saw 2,500 participants from 275 cities/towns in Massachusetts, with 69 Reading Partners spreading the word. The Center's goal for 2024 is to have at least one participating reader from each of the 351 cities/towns in Mass, to hit 3500 participants total, and to have 85 Reading Challenge partners!

Register directly on Zoom HERE. This program is sponsored by the Massachusetts Library Association's Program Planners Section. It will be presented in a webinar format. (Audience members cannot be seen or heard, but can type questions & comments to the presenter and each other via the chat function.) Please note this program will be recorded and all registrants will receive the recording within 48 hours.

Intended Audience: Adult Planners, Teen Planners, Children Planners

YSS Lunch 'n' Learn : Fandom Foodies

Join the Youth Services Section for our bi-monthly Lunch 'n' Learn webinar! This month, Molly Virello from the Southington Public Library in Southington, CT will present on the  magical place where pop culture, food, and library programming intersect. What better way to tap into your library's built-in audience, than providing programming where collections, fandoms, and foodies collide? From fairy and Bridgerton tea parties in the ‘garden’, to nerdy cookbook clubs, to take-and-bake kits, the possibilities are endless. Join Molly as she goes over how to run food-based programs in your library, from digital programs to take-home kits, monthly programs to comic con level events.....the possibilities are endless (and delicious)! This presentation will cover programming for a variety of youth ages so teens and children's library staff are encouraged to attend!

This program will be recorded and posted on the YSS wiki for later viewing.

[MLA PPS] Share One Of Your Program Success Stories From 2023

Congratulations! You've survived another year of library programming! To celebrate, let's get together and each share a program we've held in 2023 that we're particularly proud of. You will have 3-5 minutes to share your programming success story. You will be speaking to a supportive audience in a judgement-free environment. Depending on turnout, participants may be divided into "breakout rooms" based on the programming population they serve (Children / Teen / Adult) to ensure everyone has an opportunity to speak. And if you don't want to speak, that's fine too! Get ready to both be celebrated and celebrate your peers.

Register directly on Zoom HERE. This program is sponsored by the Massachusetts Library Association's Program Planners Section. It will be presented in a meeting format.  (Audience members CAN be seen and/or heard, if they choose.) Please note this program will NOT be recorded -- all members are encouraged to share freely and without restraint. 

Intended Audience: Adult Planners, Teen Planners, Children Planners
