Kate McClelland Elected ALSC Vice-PresidentCHICAGO – Kate McClelland, Youth Services Librarian at Perrot Memorial Library, Old Greenwich, Conn., has been elected vice-president/president-elect of the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association (ALA). She officially assumes office at the end of the 2008 ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim, Calif.
McClelland believes that as some traditional library services fade, service to children remains fundamental and, in an age of change, ALSC must be as innovative as its individual members and as dynamic as the children served.
“ALSC’s strategic plan includes our vision for a future in which all libraries welcome every child and all libraries acknowledge that children come first,” says McClelland. “Our members applaud this at the same time they know it is a tall order. ALSC, in recognizing that the welfare of children and of libraries is inextricably linked, asks our members, ‘How can we help you?’” [Read the rest of the official ALA press release here.]
