The purpose of the Children's Services Division is to promote and advance library service to children and youth through public and professional education and cooperation.  As we begin this new year, we are excited to build upon the great work that our previous boards accomplished.  With COVID slowing its pace, 2022-2023 is going to be a year of rebooting, regrowth and reconnection.  As your chairs, we look forward to putting theory into practice, listening to the needs and expectations of children's library workers, and inspiring and motivating our members to continue their good work at their libraries.
Last year, as your incoming chairs, we took some time to think about what worked well during the pandemic and what didn’t.  Each time we met, it became more apparent that virtual meetings, although limited in some social aspects, provide many members the ability to attend meaningful and purposeful CSD meetings without the concerns of travel or cost.   In our efforts to grow as an inclusive and welcoming organization, we feel that continuing to offer virtual meetings and events allows more of us to share, learn, and grow as children's library workers.
We look forward to Bimonthly CSD board meetings to report on what we know and what we plan to do.  We encourage all youth library workers to drop in anytime to learn more about how our board plans and operates.  We would love for you to join our CSD team.  See the end of this post for dates and times for our CSD board meetings.
Our first event of the year is a virtual meetup on Wednesday, October 26, 2022 at 1:00 pm.  We will present the new Oregon Library Presenters Directory.  The Oregon Library Presenters Directory is a database of artists, educators, and presenters for Oregon library audiences. The database can be accessed year-round and replaces the bi-yearly Performers Showcase event.  At this meetup we will walk you through the information in the directory.  Attendees will have the opportunity to share their favorites and connect with other library workers who are planning these programs. If you know of a presenter that you think should be included in the directory, please send them this link to apply to be added.

Our second meetup will be on Wednesday, November 30, 2022 at 1:00 pm.  Our topic will be Programming Comeback: How’s It Going and What’s Next.  Now that in-person programming has returned, what is going well and what challenges are you experiencing?  Connect with other library workers to share how things are going.
Although we did not find a chair for the CSD Mock Award Workshop, we have reimagined how we can support and help youth library workers with new and noteworthy titles from 2022.  We will host a Book Buzz on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 at 1:00 pm.  Lots of fun titles and opportunities for you to share your favorites of the year.
CSD looks forward to supporting our library community on Legislative Day coming this January or February.  We hope to connect legislators with books to donate to their home libraries and to advocate for full funding of OLA priorities.  If you have been involved with a national book award committee and have books that you can donate, please contact csd@olaweb.org.  Also, please let us know if you can volunteer to help plan this event.

We are excited to hold our annual spring workshop on Wednesday, March 15th from 1:00-3:30 pm.  This year’s spring workshop will focus on Early Literacy and will be 2.5 hours of sharing and fun!  We will provide you with useful tools and techniques that will strengthen and support all that you already do!  Our annual fundraiser coincides with the spring workshop.  Look for great books at fantastic prices
The OLA conference will be on April 19th-22nd at the Riverhouse in Bend, Oregon.  To support our membership, CSD will be offering scholarships to help pay to attend this event.  CSD will also sponsor a pre-conference session on Wednesday, April 19th. On Friday, April 21, 2023 , we will celebrate our Lampman Award recipient at a breakfast ceremony.  CSD will subsidize a portion of the cost of the breakfast.  And throughout the conference, please stop by our CSD booth; we would love to see you there.  More details to come as the conference approaches.

New this year: to support future CSD board leaders, we will be offering a $1,000 scholarship to attend the Leadership Institute of the Oregon Library Association (LIOLA) to a youth library worker interested in becoming involved in CSD leadership.  LIOLA will be held in the summer of 2023, date TBD.

Look for the latest CSD information on our website: csdola.org.  Recent blog posts include our new CSD Board, collection development resources, and fostering readers.  Although we do not yet have a dedicated person helping with social media, we plan to post what we can to Facebook and Instagram.  Please let us know if you can help with this important task.

We are honored to serve as your chairs for the 2022-2023 year.  Our primary goal as this year’s co-chairs is to provide you with resources, tools, techniques, and more to help you continue the amazing work you do with children and their grown ups.  
​

Looking forward to a great year together.
