YOUTH SERVICES SECTIONPURPOSEThe Wisconsin Library Association's Youth Services Section (YSS) advocates for professional empowerment, collaboration, and innovative, inclusive, and intentional service. To that end, YSS provides a forum and resources for people in Wisconsin's libraries who share a commitment to serving children and young adults, their parents, caregivers, and teachers. It is a vital, dynamic group whose interests focus on providing quality library service and encouraging literacy and library use. YSS members include public and school library staff, library trustees and library supporters who work together to benefit youth in Wisconsin. To become a member simply check the YSS box on your WLA membership or renewal form.

2026 WLA Performers Showcase Update
The virtual portion of the 2026 WLA Performers Showcase, originally scheduled for December 8, has been canceled.
However, we will still be producing the 2026 Performers Directory, featuring information about performers and their programs available to Wisconsin libraries. The directory will be distributed electronically to all WLA members free of charge. We will circulate the directory bu December 15.
We hope this directory will serve as a valuable resource for libraries planning programs and looking to connect with talented performers.
