Reflections on re-envisioning

 

Reflections on re-envisioning

 

July 3, 2021| ALSC Library Service to Underserved Children and Their Caregivers 

 

What a difference a year makes!

 

Last year around this time, the Library Service to Underserved Children and Their Caregivers committee had the opportunity to re-envision how the committee could better serve ALSC. We were knee-deep in the pandemic and struggled with how we could deliver no-cost content that was both timely and useful to our colleagues. Looking back on the past year, we hope we’ve achieved that goal. And we hope to continue providing this service.
