Informal introduction

This blog is designed to document my engagement with five different professional development activities relating to the profession of children and youth library services. As an individual who is not currently working in library services (but merely a student), attempting a professional development assignment might prove a challenge as I feel limited by the types of activities I can engage in. Additionally, I am not the most technologically literate person out there. However, I look forward to expanding my knowledge in children and youth library services and hopefully gaining some valuable experiences along the way. These activities will feature the following topics in the context of library services for children and young adults:

• Censorship
• Diversity
• Young people’s book awards
• Digital materials/resources and emerging technologies
