[SCLA] CATS, CLASC, and YASD Present: Tween Maker Faire!

Posted onAuthorsingram

Hi All,

CATS, CLASC, and YASD will be running its first ever Maker Faire! This faire will be open to all librarians, but will mainly focus on the tween population.

We are looking for libraries that would be interested in manning a table during the faire to display any technology related items that would be appropriate for tweens. We would also welcome anyone willing to share Makerspace or STEAM programming as well. Our goal is to have librarians come together to network and become familiar with new technologies that they could possibly order for their collection.

Please fill out the Google Form if your library would be interested in having a table at the event to showcase what they offer. The Google Form must be received no later than November 1, 2022.

To register for this event, Click here. To apply for a table Click here

The deadline to register and/or apply for a table is November 1, 2022.

Please contact Lauren Tellerman, LIBRARYLAUREN1001@GMAIL.COM for questions regarding table reservations and Lauren Strong, LAUREN.STRONG@RIVERHEADLIBRARY.ORG for registration questions

CATS/TIF Annual Meeting – Thursday, December 9, 10am @ SCLS and on Zoom

Posted onAuthorsingram

Risky Behavior in a Public Library, or, How Saying “Yes” Mostly Turned Out Okay
Thursday, December 9, 10:00-11:00am @ SCLS Auditorium and Zoom. 

Register HERE for in-person or HERE for virtual.

Join us for our annual meeting on December 9, 2021 as we hear from our guest speaker, Maxine Bleiweis, and welcome the 2022 CATS Board. All are welcome. Coffee and breakfast will be provided.

Maxine Bleiweis had no business becoming a public librarian. She was a contrarian and shuddered at keeping things in order. Beinspired as you hear how she turned her assets into triumphs (peppered with failures) as she directed libraries in Connecticut and, to her surprise, was awarded ALA’s Charlie Robinson Award for Innovative Leadership.
