Our new State Youth Services and Special Needs Consultant Tessa Michaelson Schmidt has created the Wisconsin Youth Services Showcase. It’s a monthly showcase of ideas and people in our state doing fabulous things. (Psst–you are all doing that) One of our own flock is already being featured!

From Tessa: The Wisconsin Youth Services Showcase is a website developed and hosted by the Public Library Development Team at the Department of Public Instruction. The Showcase is designed to highlight the ordinary and extraordinary endeavors of Wisconsin youth services librarians and serves as a positive spring­board for identifying and connecting with library peers across the state. Showcase items change monthly.
