Technology is an integral part of our society and has taken root in various aspects of young children's lives. A 2014 nationwide survey of children's librarians' use of new media with young children and their caregivers established baseline results. An expanded version of this survey will be administered in August 2018 to provide a longitudinal view of children's librarians' use of new media with young children and their caregivers as well as insight into their role as media mentors–guiding families and modeling effective practices in working towards a balanced media diet for today's youth. This poster will provide the 2018 survey design and findings that will speak to change in practices and prevalence of technology from 2014 and provide selections from the emergent data regarding various new areas of inquiry around diversity, attitudes, and evaluation.
