On International Workers’ Day, we strive to celebrate, to honor, and to listen to library workers around the world. Their efforts to serve their communities are “imparables,” and they deserve working conditions that are appreciated, equitable, safe, and appropriately paid. Wherever there are libraries and librarians, life is just a little bit better, and whenever it is necessary to face injustice, libraries are one of the most important strongholds. The issue features eight articles in Spanish and three articles in English from around the world.Item Newsletter: Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section, October 2023(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2023-10-01) Boonaree, Chommanaad; Cadio, Soizic; Larssen Rogne, Tone; Leggatt, Alice; Muyao, Moses; Nyakundi Nyambane, James; Rueda, Ludy; Sabharwal, Arjun; Thomas, Lori; IFLA Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section Standing Committee; Alexiusson, Maria; Evans, Sarah; Martens, MarianneIFLA's Section on Libraries for Children and Young Adults had its midyear meeting in Singapore in May. One night, over dinner, we started talking about intellectual freedom, censorship, and book banning. Our Australian and Norwegian members said that they organized exhibits in their libraries about "Books Banned in the United States." Those of us from the United States were suddenly aware of how what is happening in the US is perceived around the world. Of course, challenges and book bans are not isolated to the United States. As librarians, we believe that the freedom to read is a core tenant of democracy. We decided to create a special edition newsletter in conjunction with Banned Books Week (October 1-7th, 2023) that would look at censorship and book challenges worldwide. This newsletter contains articles from England, France, Kenya, Norway, Thailand, and three from the United States. We hope that this newsletter inspires conversations -- and advocacy for freedom to read around the world.Item Newsletter: Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section, Summer 2024(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2024-08-22) Martens, Marianne; Rankin, Carolynn; Tinta, Lavra; Scheffler, Benjamin; Flores, Áurea Xaydé Esquivel; Arıoğlu, Sevgi; Soini, Nathalie; Heng, Huey Bin; Evans, Sarah; Garašić, Diana; Balenović, Barbara; Mumelaš, Dolores; Petrić, Danijela; Mikačević, Branka; Petrec, Tatjana; Blažeković, Ivana; Kliska, Tito; Melkić, Alenka; Krnjajić, Biljana; Tufekčić, Anita; Petrović, Gordana Gregurović; Cesarec-Topolovec, Renata; Grošelj, Andreja; Palčok, Jelena Juriċ; Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section Standing Committee; Naď, Melita; Ostrički, Ivana; Bando, Irena; Purgar, Marija; Ðonović, Jelena; Krpan, Keti; Gašljević, Dunja Lovrenčić; Vadlja, Blaženka Mavrić; Brunac, Dajana; Buljat, Željana; Sorčik, Mirta; Šimić, Sonja; Heng, Huey Bin; Tinta, Lavra; Martens, Marianne; Soini, Nathalie; Evans, SarahThe Summer 2024 IFLA Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section Newsletter includes a letter from the Section Chair, news about upcoming section activities, pictures from libraries in Slovenia and Croatia, and articles about best practices presentations given at the 2024 Croatian Children’s Library Association Conference.Item Newsletter: Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section, Winter 2024(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2024-03-01) IFLA Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section Standing Committee; Martens, Marianne; Drvoderic, Helena; Tuuling, Brita; Kulkarni, Anant; Nakashima, Ayuka; Adeleke, Dare Samuel; Rogne, Tone Larssen; Tay, Shirley; Brkic, Jasna; Evans, Sarah; Heng, Huey Bin; Tinta, LavraThis is the winter edition of the bi-annually published newsletter by the Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section.

Building upon the strengths of this medium, researchers from the University of Texas and the University of Alabama organized a pilot cohort of public library staff and families for the project “Raise Up Radio in Libraries: Family and Youth Engagement in Library Supported Learning Via Radio.” This design-based research project seeks to meet the educational needs of rural communities through collaborative production of a series of audio programs that can be broadcast on local radio or shared as a podcast. This poster discusses the experience of library staff and project participants in selecting STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) content. Despite similarities in service populations, cohort libraries selected divergent topics based on community assets such as local experts and popular community resources. This poster compares the participating libraries and the factors that lead to topic selection. It reminds government officials and library administrators that even though libraries may have similar aspects (i.e. size, resources, number of patrons served), each location is individually unique. Therefore, the implementation of educational programs must include flexibility for library staff to effectively address community needs.
