youth services

Today, we wanted to say a huge thank you and share an update with the many youth services staff members who participated in the YS-focused survey that WPLC project managers shared in February. The response was fantastic, with 231 people filling out responses and representation from every library system around Wisconsin. 

How will the survey responses be used?

Here are some tangible action items you can expect to see as a result of the information shared through the youth services staff survey:

The Wisconsin Public Library Consortium (WPLC) is seeking insights from youth services staff around Wisconsin about the reading habits and interests of young readers (school-age and tweens/teens). 

If you work with folks in these age groups in some capacity, we would appreciate your time filling out a survey. Information gathered will help inform collection development directions for Wisconsin's Digital Library. It will help WPLC understand what resources might be helpful to youth services staff in talking with youth and their families about the digital library.
