2022 BIENNIAL RETREAT

CALL FOR PROPOSALS


The NCLA Youth Services Section Executive Board is excited to announce its call for poster proposals. The 2022 retreat is "Refresh, Renew, Restart." The 2022 Youth Services Section Retreat will feature topics covering intellectual freedom, developing diverse collections, programming ideas, breakouts discussion, outdoor scavenger hunt, and much more! We are excited to get together with librarians and paraprofessionals working in our state, region, and other library systems, to network, learn and develop exciting ways to support and provide excellent services to youth and their families.

We request that poster proposals relate and engage with the 2022 theme. 

And as you know, we can't have all work and no play! If you have a hidden talent that you would like to lead for YSS attendees for our social & networking event, send us your proposal! 

YSS will happily cover the cost of supplies. Plus, as a thank you, we will cover the cost of your registration for the retreat.

This activity may be leading an art project, a team-building activity, or another great idea!  

After the selection process, the YSS Board will notify proposal applicants. Please submit your proposal submissions below no later than August 5, 2022.
