CHICAGO —  From smaller, community room-based programs to city-wide initiatives, find out how you can launch innovative programming tailored to fit your audience and budget in the Nov. 17 webinar, “Innovative Teen Programming from $10 to $10,000,” to be held at 2 p.m. EST by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA)  

Jack Martin and Chris Shoemaker, New York Public Library programming gurus, will lead a workshop on how to initiate cool, low-cost pilot projects or scale up smaller programs into big events that support your teens’ interests and needs. Martin and Shoemaker will show participants how a teen advisory group’s idea turned into a citywide prom and how a small patch of  concrete blossomed into an urban garden project, and much more.

Registration is now open at www.ala.org/yalsa/webinars. Webinars cost $29 for students, $39 for individual YALSA members, $49 for all other individuals and $195 for groups (all participants watch in the same location).  Questions can be sent to Eve Gaus, YALSA’s program officer for continuing education, at egaus@ala.org or 1 (800) 545-2433, ext. 5293.

For more than 50 years, YALSA has been the world leader in selecting books, videos and audiobooks for teens.  For more information about YALSA or for lists of recommended reading, viewing and listening, go to www.ala.org/yalsa/booklists, or contact the YALSA office by phone, (800) 545-2433, ext. 4390, or e-mail, yalsa@ala.org.
