Things to Know
Why subscribe to MiYouth<http://mail2.mcls.org/mailman/listinfo/miyouth>?
MiYouth listserv is for youth and teen services staff to communicate, share programming, ask questions, etc.  I also cross-post a lot of the same information I do share with MichlibL, so it’s great for staff members that do not want to be on the larger listserv.  Feel free to forward this email to youth & teen staff today and encourage them to sign-up and contribute to MiYouth<http://mail2.mcls.org/mailman/listinfo/miyouth>!
