Save the Date!

Save the dates!

The AASL Fall Forum will be held in Greenville, SC on October 12 and 13, 2012 (Friday and Saturday).  The theme is "Transliteracy and the School Library Program."  Registration is currently open and conference information is available at this link.

Also, the American Association of School Librarians recently announced the dates and locations for the 16th and 17th Conferences.  See the link above.

The 16th Conference will be held November 13-17, 2013 in Hartford, CT.

The 17th Conference will be held October 15-18, 2013 in Columbus, OH.

Keep checking for more information as it is released.

In the meantime, don't forget the ALA Annual Conference being held in Anaheim, CA on June 21-26, 2012.  There's a lot to see and learn, not only at the conference, but in southern California.  In addition to the wonderful sessions, there are plenty of activities in which to participate.  Disneyland, anyone?  Don't forget the Rock Bottom Remainders will be performing on Saturday at 8 p.m.  (If you've never seen them, they are a group of authors who get together and perform.  They're actually pretty good!  Members include Stephen King, Amy Tan, Mitch Albom, Dave Barry, Matt Groening, Scott Turow, Ridley Pearson, Greg Iles, James McBride, Roy Blount, Jr., Kathi Goldmark and Sam Barry. Roger McGuinn of The Byrds joins the band as special musical guest.)

Early Bird registration is now open.

Mark your calendars now and we'll hope to see you there!

School LMSs Receive Acclaim

Maybe there's hope, afterall.

I was looking through some of the information from the recent AASL Conference online, when I came upon an article talking about a program from ALA called "Love My Librarian" where people were encouraged to nominate their Librarians for a special award.

Well, two School Library Media Specialists have won the award!  The article can be found here.

Lucy Hansen (South Texas Independent School District) and Carolyn Wheeler (Conant Elementary, Bloomfield Hills, MI) were chosen for their innovation, as well as, their dedication to the field.

Congratulations, Lucy and Carolyn!  Its nice to see some recognition.
