The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), seeks members' best ideas to help achieve the goals listed in YALSA's new strategic plan for its new Great Ideas contest. The contest is open to all individual YALSA members as well as all YALSA committees, juries, task forces, discussion groups, interest groups and advisory boards.
Entrants are asked to brainstorm and submit activities that will allow YALSA to achieve a specific goal or strategy in the plan. Entry forms can be downloaded at www.ala.org/yalsa and must be sent to yalsa@ala.org by May 1. Winners will be announced the week of July 13. There will be a first-place winner for an individual member and a first-place winner for a member group. Each winner will receive a box of books and YALSA swag, have their idea and photo published in an issue of Young Adult Library Services and get to see their idea implemented by YALSA.
