<P class=MsoNormal>The main event will be brought to us by the fabulous Heather McNeil discussing multicultural storytelling. She will help us figure out how to select great multicultural tales, understand them in perspective, and aid us in ensuring that we are respectful and knowledgeable when we tell and share them. There will also be<SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"> </SPAN>a CSD update from Krist Obrist, and Katie Anderson with information from the State Library.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>In addition you, yes you, will be sharing all your great and wonderful SRP ideas! Please bring handouts, program plans, guest presenter suggestions and contact information, or any other gems you may have on the theme of “One World, Many Stories” and “You Are Here.” (Please bring 50 copies of any handouts.) This is the opportunity to share with and inspire your peers from across the state! Following the presentations, tables will be set up to display all these fabulously creative items and ideas.</P>
