Youth Services is for Everyone: Supporting Kids, Teens, and Families Across the Library Webinar

December 10, 2025 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (EST)

Description

Registration Fees: Member* $45 | Non-Member $90

*OLC Individual Members and staff of OLC Institutional Member Libraries

Registration deadline: 12/5/25 at 5 p.m.

Overview: Not everyone works directly with youth, but in a public library, everyone encounters them. Whether it’s a caregiver seeking a book recommendation, teens being “teens,” or a child exploring the library, staff play a crucial role in creating positive experiences. This webinar is designed for library staff who don’t regularly work with youth, but want to feel more confident stepping in when youth services staff aren’t available. You’ll learn practical tips for engaging with kids, teens, and families - like how to engage with teens, assist young children, and help caregivers locate materials that meet their needs. We’ll also explore youth brain development, what to expect at different stages, and how to quickly assess if a book matches a child’s reading level. By the end of the session, you’ll have tools to navigate youth interactions with empathy, patience, and effectiveness - no matter your role.

Presenters:

  • Dani Gustavich, Dayton Metro Library
  • Rachel Rausch, Delaware County District Library

What is included: Participation in the live webinar and access to the archived version at a later date, resources (if applicable) provided by the presenters.

Continuing Education Credits: For those working toward their Ohio Public Librarian or Ohio Public Library staff re-certification, this webinar qualifies for 1 credit hour.
