Kids Are Customers, Too! Conference- April 4, 2024

[MLA CSD]

Hello CSD Members,

Please spread the word! Registration is open for this year's Kids Are Customers, Too Conference!

This annual youth services conference is an opportunity for library staff working with children, tweens, and teens in public libraries and school media centers throughout the state to meet new people, renew contacts, and learn the latest information affecting the diverse field in which they work. 

Join us at the Miller Branch of the Howard County Library System on Thursday, April 4, 2024 from 9:30am – 4:00pm as we feature a day’s worth of presenters sharing fresh ideas and practical tips that can be applied directly to day-to-day youth programming and services. 

The keynote speaker will be Jessica Anne Bratt, author of Let’s Talk About Race in Storytimes, who has traveled nationwide to speak on anti bias education. In her keynote, “Let’s Talk About Race: Working with Youth,” she will address how to incorporate racial justice and DEIA principles in library programs and services for children, tweens, and teens.
