This year’s theme for the ASLA Summer Conference is "Navigating the Standards." The conference takes place on Tuesday, June 12, 2012.  Something new at the conference this year will be "mini" poster sessions. If you would like to share a lesson, program, or fundraiser idea with your colleagues, bring your laptop or other visual materials and we will have a room set up for breezing through. Your colleagues can take a look at your intellectual "wares" and glean ideas to take back to their library – everyone is welcome.

If you would like to lead a session or share with a "poster session," follow the link to fill out the presenter form and email Elizabeth Hester with the form and/or any questions you may have.  For more information, please click on the link under ASLA news.

Students Receive Picture Books

When Michelle Owens viewed pictures of the devastation left in the path of the April 27 Alabama tornadoes, she was immediately moved to action. Serving as the Youth Services Librarian at Brownstown Public Library in Indiana, Michelle began a campaign to collect new books to donate to schools in need. Recently she delivered these books to ASLA Past-President Michelle Wilson, who passed them along to schools who has indicated interest in receiving them. Pictured here are students at Concord Elementary School, smiling because of the kindness and generosity of strangers.
