Early Literacy Manual
CSLP is offering a free early literacy/preschool manual again this year. It is online this year but it is anticipated that it will come in print version in 2012. A popular feature of the manual is that it includes cues to the Every Child Ready to Read learning elements. To download a copy of the manual, go to www.cslpreads.org/early-literacy-manual.html. Access requires registration at the first page of the CSLP website www.cslpreads.org.
New YALSA Tool to Evaluate Teen Services
YALSA released a new evaluation tool for libraries to determine the health of teen services at their institutions. The downloadable tool derives its areas of evaluation from YALSA's Competencies for Librarians Serving Youth: Young Adults Deserve the Best. Potential users include library administrators, library trustees, teen services librarians, and community members and jobseekers hoping to assess a library's commitment to teen services. To download the tool, go to www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/yalsa/profdev/yacompetencies/evaltool.cfm.
