A little nudge for those of you contemplating attending ALSC Institute in Atlanta!<\/p>\n
Just want to say that the connections and friendships formed at an ALSC program are real and long lasting.\u00a0 I presented at the Institute in Salt Lake City in 2008. That was two years ago\u2026but just last month I received a request from an attendee who now serves on her State Commission for Libraries.\u00a0 She needed permission to post handouts from the Institute on her monthly newsletter.<\/p>\n
The verbalization and exchange of ideas \u201cin person\u201d\u009d is invaluable.\u00a0 It takes the palatable energy and buzz of a room full of people who love kids, children\u2019s literature and children\u2019s programming to make things happen!\u00a0<\/p>\n
My favorite thing? It was especially fun to sit down to a table full of complete strangers and\u00a0 immediately start talking (and laughing).\u00a0 \u00a0We had so much in common\u2026we\u00a0 seriously could become best friends in just a matter of minutes!<\/p>\n
