From August 1 until early September, we are unable to make any changes to the YALSA website as the main ALA website undergoes a redesign. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. You can find YALSA news and updates on the YALSA blog, YALSA's Twitter, and YALSA's Facebook page. YALSA content may also be accessed on an alternate site.

In fall 2008, the main ALA website will unveil a redesign, with a new look and easier navigation. Please contact the ALA Library at library@ala.org or 800-545-2433 x2153 if you need assistance locating specific content or updates to the main ALA site as the redesign is implemented. We invite you to preview the site's new look at www.ala.org/preview.
