> 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:
