11:30-11:45 am ET:  Welcome - CSLP Executive Director, Luke Kralik
11:45-12:45 pm ET: Keynote - Summer Matters: Making All Learning Count - Liz McChesney
Description:  Summer is a time that highlights educational and health inequities for children in our country. While many children have new opportunities and experiences during summer, the majority of children who have been historically excluded lack access to traditional programs. We will examine new research about summer slide and COVID learning loss, and look at research proven ways in which public libraries succeed in driving deep, lasting, and meaningful changes for our youth during these critical months. We will look at the national trend in positioning library programs in the summer learning context as a way to drive equity and discuss the essential role of outcomes based evaluation as a tool to tell the story of our programs successes and advocate for our programs. We know summer matters for kids: you and your role in the public library are vital for all kids' success.

2:00-3:00 pm ET: What's Great About Your Community: Extending your connections to youth and families
Description:  Join us in an informal conversation about how you can connect with the assets in your community - people, organizations, and places - to build summer services that benefit youth and families. We'll share examples and provide an opportunity for you to explore your own community's assets and to get feedback from others.
Presenter:  Sara White is the Youth Services Consultant at the Washington State Library. She believes deeply that libraries empower youth to have a voice, pursue their unique passions, and connect with their community and world. After graduating from the University of Washington's Information School in 2010 with her Master's in Library and Information Science, she spent over a decade serving kids, teens, and families as Youth Services Librarian at the Olympia Timberland Library. Sara has particular passions for storytime, teen-led programming, and professional development. Through extensive work with the UW's VIEWS2 research study and YALSA'S Transforming Teen Services project, she worked to make her own early learning and teen programming more equitable and intentional, and provide training for her peers to do the same. As the Youth Services Consultant for the Washington State Library, she promotes collaboration, innovation, equity, and the constant pursuit of bettering library services for youth.
