Announcing - 2019 ALA Book Club Authors and Books |
The Charlie May Simon Reading List for 2018-2019 | Greetings from the
Our 2018 Conference is already in the final stages of planning. The theme this year is Live...Love...Literacy, and our focus is all about the passion that we as literacy leaders have and want to instill in our literacy learners and future leaders. We have a dynamic line up of authors and speakers that you will not want to miss. Our new online conference is planned for February as well! There is nothing like getting PD in the comfort of your PJ's. Last year's online conference started off with a bang, and this one is sure to be even better! We hope you are planning to attend both conferences! I would like to thank ILA for all their assistance during our transition phase! It was a lot of hard work, but they helped us with every step of the process. ALA welcomes all literacy leaders and we want to encourage new leaders to get involved with us. Each year we have officer positions open and committee chair opportunities, as well. Don't forget about our scholarship, grant, and award opportunities! I want to thank each and every one that helps ALA to put on our conferences and promotes literacy in local communities, our state, and around the world! You are making a difference in the lives of readers everywhere! Sincerely, Tara Derby, ALA Chair |
