Do you miss connecting with other youth librarians? Feeling stuck and need a refresh on ideas? Want to talk about what's circulating, if you're re-opening and what that looks like, summer planning, and what lessons you've learned? Want to share something you just tried that went well? Have ANYthing you want to discuss with other youth services librarians? Join Angie and fellow youth services librarians today (Monday, March 29) from 11:00-12:00 to discuss anything and everything on your mind and just have some community and hangout time with other librarians from all across the state. Bring your best ideas, biggest successes and challenges, and all your questions! Be prepared to chat, Angie might call on you to share!
Can't stay the whole hour? It's OK! Miss this month? It's fine, try again in April. This is a new date and time for 2021 and we're still figuring out when the best time to try to meet is, so Angie welcomes feedback about when is good for you! These sessions are not for CE and will not be recorded - it's just a chance for us to get together, talk about youth services, and offer each other insight and support.
Join Angie and other youth librarians at March's Pop YS Pop-In by clicking the link below about 5 minutes before the session is set to start.
Or use this link: https://zoom.us/j/5152817572.
If you have questions, comments, or suggestions about the Pop-Ins or any other topics or get-togethers that might be useful, please email Angie or call her at 515-281-7572. She'll be busy during the chat, but will always get back to you as soon as she can. Can't wait to "see" you soon!

I Want To Take Another Chance To Celebrate And Thank YOU!!
Seems hard to believe it's been a year since all our library lives shifted and we started learning and adapting. I want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to every single one of you. Your work, tenacity, innovation, and dedication constantly humbled and inspired me. I loved learning with you and supporting you over the past year and you constantly reminded me WHY I love being a librarian. I want each of you to know that what you did, however small it felt, made a difference in your community. You should be so proud of everything you accomplished. I also hope you will each remember that you matter. Rest and take breaks when you need to, we are still in the marathon even as we get closer to the finish, and your health and well-being matters more than ever. Don't pressure yourself to do and be everything. Know that you and your work are enough. You are making a huge contribution to your entire community. All of Iowa is thankful and I, personally, felt so lucky to be your colleague this past year. You were well and truly stars! Thank you for letting me help you this past year, it was truly an honor. As always know that I believe in you and I am so grateful to you for ALL your hard work. YOU GOT THIS! -Angie
