Newsletter
Budgets are tight and staffing is short, so it isn't easy to visit all of the libraries that you would like to. The C-YA Roundtable has developed a quarterly newsletter to help keep you informed on youth services happenings all over the state. We are interested in what you are doing in your library, school, and community; so please send your ideas (big and small) to Jean Closz for inclusion in the next newsletter.
The CYA Roundtable asks children’s and young adult librarians across the state to send articles, photos, reviews, etc. to Lindsey Wesson at the state library at lindsey.wesson@tn.gov. Regional directors are being asked to send information about libraries in their areas who have exciting programs and events. This information will be compiled into newsletters that will be available on the TLA website. Help contribute and support your newsletter today.
