Lisa Daniels, of Augusta Public Library, was nominated and elected as Vice-Chair. Christy Snyder assumes the position of Chair Person for 1999-2000. Ms. Snyder serves as children's librarian for both the school district and public library of St. John. Attendees were given a brief survey to complete regarding the effectiveness of the Section. These surveys were available throughout Tri-Conference.
Results indicate communication and lack or participation by schools as the greatest concerns.
Tri-Conference programming was indicated to be the greatest strength. Interest has been expressed in a Preconference or Fall Workshop sponsored by the Section. This list is designed to serve Section members, but is open to all library professionals interested in topics relating specifically to children and young adults. Discussions include sharing of resources, children's programming ideas, forming partnerships between public and school libraries, Tri-Conference programs, and other children's issues. Do not include anything else in the email.
