It is with deep regret that we must cancel the “What’s New in YA and Children’s Literature” trainings scheduled for Tuesday, February 24, 2026. Unfortunately, Shauna has had repeated traveling delays. Shauna’s flight from Hawaii was cancelled repeatedly and she is unable to arrive in time. She is now working to reschedule her flight to arrive in time for Thursday’s trainings at Glendale Public Library.

We encourage anyone who is able to attend to register for Thursday’s training/s instead. You can find those links here:

• What’s New in YA Literature – Glendale – Thursday, February 26, 2026 – 9am – 12pm
• What’s New in Children’s Literature – Glendale - Thursday, February 26, 2026 – 1pm – 4pm

We are also offering a virtual option on Saturday, March 7:

• What’s New in YA Literature – Online – Saturday, March 7, 2026 – 9am – 12pm
• What’s New in Children’s Literature  –  Online - Saturday, March 7, 2026 – 1pm – 4pm

Again, please accept our deepest apologies for this disappointment. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
