Summer Library Program Survey Now Open
Summer Library Program team leaders please complete the survey<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSduZMzsY6sPGBYZgupMrCdC1dukU4hjmqrYVZt48htn61RcfQ/viewform?usp=sf_link> from the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) even if you did not use the "A Universe of Stories" theme; it is open through September 13th.  I will do a survey prize drawing for a set of free books relating to summer 2020's "Imagine Your Story" for Michigan libraries that respond. Feel free to look at the questions<https://docs.google.com/document/d/179xt_PopaIgGEEbo_ZSI8N3OgS5Vp7_Rjje0xemCjaU/edit?usp=sharing> before completing the survey<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSduZMzsY6sPGBYZgupMrCdC1dukU4hjmqrYVZt48htn61RcfQ/viewform?usp=sf_link>.
**Please Note** Libraries are listed by districts so it is ok if you are a branch and we receive multiple entries per system. Just please be sure your district is not already submitting on your behalf. Thanks for taking the time to respond! The data and stories are very helpful not only to CSLP, but to the Library of Michigan.

Serving Teens & Tweens
A Teen Walks Into the Library<https://create.coloradovirtuallibrary.org/a-teen-walks-into-the-library/>
In this self-directed course, learners will gain a beginning-level understanding of working with teens in the library setting. Free from the Colorado State Library and supported in part through the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Repair the Harm: Restorative Approaches to Behavior Management in Libraries<http://www.ala.org/yalsa/repair-harm-restorative-approaches-behavior-management-libraries>
When we welcome teenagers into our library spaces, we can expect a certain number of behavioral challenges.  There are many approaches we can take as practitioners to guide and manage behavior in the library. Learn how libraries can make use of restorative practices to help teens learn from their behavior, in meaningful and transformative ways, and maintain access to their library. This recorded webinar is free to YALSA Members or available for purchase to non-members.
