Making the Connections: MSLMA/NMRLS Library Media Specialist Series
Session Two - Invest Wisely - Read!
Tuesday November 28, 2006
3:00 PM until 6:00 PM

National studies show that many high school graduates lack basic money management skills and learn through trial and error--often with disastrous results. Several governmental and banking entities have encouraged private and public organizations in offering educational programs to empower youth in making better financial decisions. You don't have to be a CPA to offer financial literacy workshops at your branch. If you interested in empowering youth with practical life-skills find out how simple financial literacy programs can bring rewarding returns to your youth services library programming efforts. Vickie Beene-Beavers, Assistant Administrator for Youth Services at SEMLS will facilitate and also discuss her 2003 VOYA nominated MVP award for her Invest Wisely...READ! campaign. Vickie's Teen Investment Week program was featured in "More Teen Programs That Work" edited by Rosemary Honnold (Neal-Schuman, 2005). Please note: Ten (10) PDPs will be awarded if 3 of the 4 Sessions are attended. Each session will be 3 hours in length. An additional hour is earned through a demonstration of completing a related product. This series has been approved by the DOE. Location: Beverly High School

How can librarians demonstrate radical trust in the teens that they serve via MySpace? We need to trust teens to make good choices and by having MySpace in libraries we can help them to make those good choices. Linda Braun will facilitate discussion in a virtual chat.

This workshop is a follow up to the October 4 workshop entitled: MySpace? YourSpace? WhoseSpace? But anyone is welcome to join. There will be some advanced preparation. Limited to 15.
