YALSA needs members to help us bring YALSA to where the graduate students are for our 2011 LIS Road Trip! This year's road trip aims to assist those interested in a career in teen services to have opportunities to get together with others who are passionate about working with adolescents in libraries. A road trip event or activity that you organize and host at your library school can help you network, learn more about YALSA and meet local YALSA members, get ideas about creating great teen services and find out what life as a teen services or secondary school librarian is really like. Students or faculty at library schools are encouraged to host events and activities to raise awareness and connect with one another. Examples include: * Host a social event, such as a happy hour or coffee klatch * Host an educational event, such as a forum, speaker, panel discussion, etc. * Write an article, column or blog post for a LIS newsletter or web site * Feature YALSA at an existing LIS event, such as an open house or student chapter meeting * Sponsor an outing, such as a library tour * Conduct an advocacy or public awareness activity, such as an email campaign to Congress members or hosting a fundraiser for causes such as Books for Teens (www.facebook.com/booksforteens) For more information, including a toolkit complete with great ideas and resources for everything you need to plan a successful event, visit: http://tinyurl.com/YALSARoadTrip11.
