Winter Meeting:

News From the State:
The NHLA voted to give YALS provisionary status as a section of NHLA.
Certain requirements must be met in order for the status to become permanent.
* Officers must be appointed (President, Vice President, Treasurer)
* By laws must be created (perhaps we can adapt existing bylaws from similar sections)
*An NHLA Executive Board representative must be appointed (Ann)
*An NHLA Spring Conference Committee representative must be appointed (Jenn)
*Dues must be determined. Most likely it will be $5.00.
NHLA Conference Update:
Jenn Jasinski has represented YALS at the NHLA conference planning meetings. Eight teen programs have been organized. YA program fair is one of the programs. Asked members of YALS to think about a program they may want to include. The fair will act like a poster session, with samples on display. Librarians stay by their display during the session to answer any questions. A form will be completed for attendees to take that includes all program directions, materials, contacts, etc.
Teen Read Week Recap: Library programs: hoax photos, improv theater, mystery/suspense read-a-louds.
Flume Award Update: (Ann)
*Posters are for sale $3.00. They will be at NHLA and NEMA conferences.
*A wiki for NH librarians will be created to cull the list of teen nominated titles.
*Next Flume meeting is 01/16/08 at the Manchester West High School Library.
*The committee will try and have the final list of 13 nominees for 2009 available earlier for school libraries.
*Promotional ideas: libraries host online chats with authors of final 13. It cost approx. $100 per chat. If libraries rotate as host, it won't be too expensive.
*Ann suggested that YALS consider taking over sponsorship of The Flume award from NHLA once we become an official chapter.
*Look for the 2009 book nomination form and other news on the Flume on its website
Discussed successful teen programs: cake decorating, improv games, bike maintenance, teen volunteer led book discussions. Check Reads-To-Go for a discussion title or the CHILIS book discussion list (Ann).
