Take Five! An Ohio Youth Services Day of Dialogue on Challenges, Solutions, and Emerging Best Practices

Wednesday, May 16, 10:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. at the Columbus Museum of Art 

Take Five! is a day of structured conversation for teen and youth services librarians, youth services library workers, school librarians, museum educators, arts leaders, and graduate students. Our collaborative, in-person environment will promote creative approaches as we discuss new ideas in teen services, grassroots advocacy, youth empowerment, 21st century learning, STEM, collaboration, support-building, and the user experience in informal learning environments. Participants will be challenged and encouraged to “Take Five”. By taking just five hours to engage in this process (plus a bonus hour for lunch!), you will take away at least five new contacts, five new ideas, and five action steps.
