Associations

Professional Toolkit

Associations

Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC). www.ala.org/alsc/ 
This association is important for anyone entering the field of children’s services in libraries.  They include professional development opportunities, professional tools, grants and scholarships available, and opportunities to connect with others in the field.  This tool would help me find professional development opportunities available for individuals in the field of children’s service and would allow me to network with others that are interested in the same topics.
PUBYAC. www.pubyac.org
This is a discussion list and list serve focusing on public library services for children and young adults.  The types of items posted are craft ideas, articles relating to children and young adult services, grants, job postings, story time ideas, and many other resources for individuals that focus their career or education on serving children and young adults.  This would be beneficial to me because they are often sending new resources available for people interested in such topics, which would help me keep abreast of the issues impacting such services and get ideas of what others are doing in the field.
