A Note From the
Executive Director

Is it time for your library to start developing a strategic plan? NEO-RLS can assist with the planning process! We have successfully facilitated plans for both public and academic libraries. Our process incorporates all library stakeholders and is customizable to fit your library's needs. Whether your current plan expires at the end of 2023 or your library has never had a strategic plan, we are here to help!

We are currently wrapping up three plans and are ready to start scheduling with libraries for the coming months. Now is the perfect time to get started for a strategic plan to begin in 2024.

The Reimagining School Readiness workshop provides an overview of both practical research about how to support school readiness, and a toolkit with resources created for library staff to help families prepare children from birth to 8 years for success in school and in life.

Kim Becnel and Robin Moeller at Appalachian State University have developed a bibliography of picture books about dealing with anxiety<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=190410497&mm=72151529389>. This list was developed with the support of the Carnegie Whitney Grant and features 267 reviews of books published between 2010-2022. In addition to the individual reviews, an SEL framework is used to help librarians, educators, parents, guardians, and counselors better identify books that might work best for the children with whom they work.

Are you responsible for developing and delivering makerspace or making programming and services in your library? Makerspaces are flourishing in public libraries, yet little is known about the inclusive programming being provided to library patrons, especially youth with disabilities. Makerspace programming can address inequities in underserved communities (including youth with disabilities), by providing access to various making technologies, skill acquisition through training, and peer and professional mentoring, each critical to today’s youth with disabilities who plan to move into the workforce, but also essential for improving each youth’s quality of life.
