NEWS FROM THE STATE: The Flume Award has some money for printing 2010 bookmarks. Please visit the Flume wiki to post comments about titles nominated by teens. This helps the Flume committee narrow the list of nominations to 13 titles. The committee will meet Monday, April 13th at 3pm at Manchester West High School. We want to have the new bookmarks done for the May 7-8 School Media annual conference. YALS has 14 registered NHLA members. Ann mentioned the progress of CHILIS participating in the national summer reading program theme. This would also provide materials for teen summer reading programs at no extra charge. YALS will have a table at the conference. We need PR materials for the section. Discussed creating business cards with our website and bulleted points of what YALS is. Need to have NHLA membership forms available at the table. Discussed creating stand up boards for each title on the 2010 nomination list so we don't have to have the actual book there. Tim will be creating a nomination Kate discussed the teen programs planned for the conference and secured presenters for a few of the programs.
