If your local area is following the statewide trends, the<br \/>\npopulation is likely aging and becoming more diverse. Rural areas are continuing to experience net outmigration, especially at college ages, but some return in their late 20s and 30s. These and other demographic factors will be discussed so that your community characteristics and current and future library clientele is well known. We\u2019ll cover how to obtain a profile of commonly used statistics from the Census Bureau\u2019s website, how Nebraska communities are unique, and what demographic changes are likely in the years ahead. Everyone will find something interesting in this session that will benefit your planning and community outreach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Librarians Serving Youth: Supporting Brain Development<\/strong><br \/>\nSheryl Feinstein, Dean of the College of Education, University of Nebraska Kearney<\/p>\n<p>Ever changing, growing, and eager to learn \u2013 the perfect description for youth and librarians.
