Meeting Minutes 08/23/07 Wiggins Memorial Library 10:00 a.m. Coffee at 9:30 a.m.
Kimball Library NHLA Conference: The Conference committee would like a representative from YALS to be on the committee. Jenn Jasinski volunteered. Table at the conference: location resulted in low traffic. It was suggested that next year, we ask Toadstool Bookstore to loan the Flume nominees for a display. Flume posters will be available soon. They are smaller sized than SRP posters and undated. Sell for $3, plus a shipping fee if not sent on the van? Ann will advertise and handle sales.
Teen Read Week ideas: Hoax photos, songwriting, improvisation (Technical Difficulties from Nashua)
Program trades: send descriptions of programs and contact information to jenn.jasinski@nashualibrary.org to be posted on the website.
Should YALS become an official section of NHLA? Petition needs to be signed by 10 NHLA members. Provisional status for one year. Need to develop by-laws and elect officers once approved by NHLA.
Summer programs that went well: murder mysteries, improv games, murals, altered board books, Gaming, Dance, Dance Revolution tournament, artist. Challenge teens, if they reach their goal, librarian will dye hair. Harry Potter party, Every flavor bean guessing contest.
Simon Brooks (KBA roster artist) is interested in doing programs for older children and teens…highly theatrical, sometimes scary stories, “storytelling like you’ve never seen.”
Manga and animé: where are graphic novels shelved? Most use a separate shelf. Anime clubs discuss new releases, view a movie or show. VOYA website has contact information for permission to show movies. ADV and Funmation are the big distributors.
MySpace or Facebook library sites: Do they get visits from teens, or just other libraries?
Teen Advisory Boards: Exeter has 8 on board, meets monthly except during the summer. Greenland has 10-15 on board and meets monthly year round. Derry has 10 on board, meets monthly except for summer.
