[CALIBK12] Conference 2008 is coming!

[Connie Williams]

Hello Calib folks

Welcome back to a new school year!  The CSLA conference committee is  
gearing up for an exceptional conference this year… and we want you to  
be there!

This year’s theme of “School Libraries make Connections” is  
exemplified in a wonderful collection of great workshops and  
concurrent sessions. Learn about the many ways to connect kids with  
books, connect parents and colleagues to your library, and how you can  
connect to the wider world using web 2.0 tools.

Joe McHugh, storyteller and keynote speaker,  will be reminding us  
that all this connecting is about story; and that really, these  
stories are the most important part of what we do in a library.  Each  
time we hand out a book, read out-loud, blog, or just chat with kids  
or colleagues, we are connecting  with each other through our stories.

And hey!  while we’re at it, we’re going to just plain have fun!  
Attend the President’s reception and you’ll get to see some of your  
colleagues put on a radio drama, Prairie Home Companion style, with  
sound effects produced on site. It’s going to be a hoot!

Check in with your exhibitor friends and see the latest and greatest  
learning resources.

You may be thinking that this is the year that you can’t possibly come  
– the budget is tight, there’s no time, no subs or..... But now, more  
than ever, it’s important to attend this conference. Conference is the  
place to connect with workshop and session presenters; and re-connect  
with your library colleagues to gather those great ideas that you can  
implement upon your return.  It's important for fact-gathering, it's  
important inspiration and it's important conversation.

This is where you'll get those great ideas to begin working on your  
action advocacy projects - proving just how indispensable you are.

Go to the conference website and sign up today.    See you there!
