Start your engines and rev up learning @ AASL's 2009 National Conference in Charlotte!
From the National Conference Co-Chairs
Are you ready to “Rev Up” learning?
In the pages that follow, we hope you will see that the conference planning committee is focused on designing a conference to help all school library media specialists with the implementation of the new learning standards, to raise the level of learning in our school library media programs, and to address the needs of a new generation of students. We are excited about the opportunities and experiences that await us all in Charlotte!
This conference promises to provide you with thought-provoking sessions; discussions with colleagues and friends, both in person and virtually; time to investigate new materials and resources in the exhibit hall; and the opportunity to get “revved up” with a big dose of energy that will reinvigorate you and your program. Whether this is your first year or your thirtieth year as a school library media professional, the AASL 14th National Conference & Exhibition will have something to meet your needs. A whirlwind of opportunities await you during these four short days—preconferences, general session speakers, the Exploratorium, author events, concurrent sessions, exhibit hall, and much more.
As you navigate the site, we hope you will see that attending the 2009 conference will help you as you begin to plan for the future of your school library media program.
Act now to take advantage of the discounted rates for early registration!
Race you to Charlotte! We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely,
Ann Marie Pipkin & Jay Bansbach
Conference Co-Chairs
