[kids-lib] Youth services professional development oppportunity Oct 11-12, 2013

[Katie Anderson]

Posted on behalf of the Oregon Association of School Libraries. Their sessions look particularly good this year, I've highlighted several I think might also be beneficial for youth services librarians at public libraries. Don't forget that OYAN<http://www.olaweb.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=289> and CSD members<http://www.olaweb.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=129> may apply for scholarships to attend professional conferences related to library youth services!

A.S. King and hear her thoughts about being an author, community read programs and the importance of librarians in the digital age.


With all these fabulous sessions its going to be hard to choose.  Here’s an idea:  Invite a classroom teacher or tech coordinator to attend the OASL conference with you -- each attend different sessions - share what you learn with each other - and learn twice as much!
