Summer Reading Survivor: Overcoming the Challenges
While a surfer wants the summer to never end, many youth-serving library staff want just the opposite. While we all enjoy the traffic and excitement our summer programs bring, we can get a little overrun. So, if you want to be inspired and re-energized, and learn something new, too, then plan to attend the ALSC Preconference, "Summer Reading Survivor: Overcoming the Challenges" in Anaheim, CA, immediately prior to the ALA Annual Conference.
The program starts on Thursday evening, June 26 with folklorist and author Judy Sierra who is Wild about Reading. Mix and mingle with your colleagues at a reception following this kickoff. On Friday, June 27, meet poet, author, and illustrator Harry Bliss who will help you ?Catch the Reading Bug!? Literacy educator Stephen Krashen will remind you why summer reading matters to kids. Breakouts and a panel discussion will focus on collaboration, partnerships, promotion, and online programs. Library director Ginnie Cooper will tell why she, as administrator, values summer programs. Gather numerous ideas from poster sessions during the afternoon break featuring a variety of summer programs from around the country. Finally, award-winning author Pam Mu?oz Ryan will have you shouting ?Hooray! Ole! We love reading!? Leave feeling renewed and rejuvenated. Become a survivor and be ready for another exciting summer. In addition to the great information and wonderful speakers, there will be goodie bags for all and chances to win some fantastic door prizes!
A separate registration and fee from the ALA Annual Conference are required for the preconference (event code SC1). However, if you do not plan to attend Annual Conference, you may still register for and attend this Preconference only. Registration is available now at: http://www.ala.org/annual. Early bird registration closes on March 7, 2008, and advance registration rates then take effect. Advance registration closes May 16, 2008. After this date, registrations will only be available at the onsite rate.
