Many of you may have received your NHLA renewal membership form, or an invitation to join NHLA as a new member this week. You may not be aware that this fall YALS became an official section of NHLA and as a result is now on your membership application. This section supports those serving young adults in NH libraries, including librarians, library assistants, and administration.  

We meet four times a year to support and promote library services for young adults throughout the state of New Hampshire. The foundation of YALS meetings is the free exchange of ideas with an optimistic and can-do attitude. Even if you are not able to attend the quarterly network meetings there are many ways you can be involved and/or benefit from this membership. Service to young adults is one of the fastest growing areas in libraries today. For many small libraries that don’t have a dedicated young adult librarian this is a great way to gain knowledge and ideas about how to best serve this population for little or no money.

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email me at: jenn.jasinski@nashualibrary.org

YALS President, New Hampshire Library Association
