Registration is open now at www.ala.org/yalitsymposium
for YALSA’s 2012 Young Adult Literature Symposium in St. Louis, Nov. 2-4, at
the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch.
Panels will cover everything from trendspotting
to the changing face of young adult audience, to the new ways teens are
connecting with and interacting with literature.
YALSA is offering two stipends of up to $1,000
each to fund travel to the symposium. One will be awarded to a library staffer
who works directly with young adults (with at least one year experience), and
the other will go to a student enrolled in an ALA-accredited MLS program as of
November 2, 2012, with a focus on young adult services.
Deadline: June 15 to ngilbert@ala.org.
Applicants must hold a
personal membership to YALSA (student membership is valid for the student
stipend).
The library
worker guidelines and application is here, the student guidelines and application is here. Both are Word documents.
