This Week in SALS Youth Services
February 19, 2016
Short and sweet
The Lunar Planetary Institute will not be held in the Capital District region. I misunderstood the initial email from the Division of Library Development. It appears they are holding 1 session in NYS that is open to a few applicants. The session will be held near Utica at the Waterville Public Library - they have an observatory in their library! How cool is that?

Upcoming Events
Advocacy Day
What better way to let legislators know how important your library is to youth and families then to bring them to advocacy day so that they can tell their story in person.

Save $: Traveling Latern will be around April 28th
We have just booked Traveling Lantern Performances for Thursday April 28th – “Shakespeare for Kids” in honor of the 400 anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death. If anyone is interested in booking for that week, they will be in the area.
They also have a summer performance – see below.

They offer a 10% discount when libraries team up together for back-to-back performances on the same day, and even greater discounts for block bookings. For smaller budgets, some of our patrons pair up with a nearby library to have a single show at a central location, and split the cost.
