On Thursday, Oct. 16th, I volunteered at the Ellesttville Branch of MCPL for a Halloween-themed event. The event was aimed for elementary aged children rather than teens, but my main reason for doing it was to meet and talk to Stephanie Holman in person. The event was a lot of fun, and I got to dress up as a witch, and give out candy and treats to kids. After the event, Stephanie talked to me about teen services and recommended that I read Voya Magazine, a periodical about teens services librarianship. I did not know that this magazine existed, and I've already downloaded and read several articles for this blog. I will update individual posts for these soon. :-)
In addition, she recommended that I look up the authors Patrick Jones and Katt Kann. I will do this and blog about them too! I really appreciate the time she took to recommend materials and I look forward to volunteering for her again!
