Youth Services Interest Group Report

 

Although I feel it is important for APLA to have a Youth Services Interest Group, for several years we have had difficulty getting members of the group together for meetings at the conference. This has meant that the group has not been very active for the last year or so. Our role has mainly been to make suggestions for conference sessions that are of interest to those working with children and young adults, and to introduce speakers at these sessions. 

 

I think we should investigate how we can use the APLA website to encourage communication amongst interest group members. I have been the convener of this group since its inception, and I think it is time for someone else to take over. If anyone is interested please let me know.
