Calling all teen librarians! ✨🎉

We’re kicking off the year with the YASD Vision Board Workshop on Wednesday, January 21 from 11:00am to 12:00pm.

Join us in the SCLS Blue Room, meet the 2026 YASD board, make vision boards full of chaotic librarian creativity, and chat all things YASD. It’s going to be fun, cozy, crafty, and the perfect midweek boost you didn’t know you needed. ✂️📚
