Program Description:
Morning Session: "Who YA/ Why YA/ How YA" with Beth Gallaway
Call them what you like: millenials, gamers, twixters, or generation Y -- by
2010, there will be an estimated 34.9 million of them. How will your library
rise to serve young adults?
By the end of this session, participants will: 

.  Identify characteristics of the young adult demographic 

.  Test new evaluation skills by editing a written review 

.  Define why service to young adults is not just important but essential 

.  Discover best practices in serving young adults 

.  Create a plan of service to this historically underserved group


Afternoon Session: Join your colleagues for a peer learning session and
discuss popular programs you have hosted with other YA librarians throughout
Ohio. The afternoon presentation will also include a demonstration of the
intricate art of henna tattoos! You are sure to come away with great ideas
for summer reading and other special events throughout the year!
