Share Fairs!
2007 Children’s and Young Adult Share Fair’s are over! Attendance was remarkable. Both days had consisted of a wonderful fellowship between the librarians. I hope everyone who attended was able to come away with idea or two for next year.
The 2008 Collaborative Library Summer Program manuals and Highsmith catalogs arrived just in time! Public libraries who attended were able to pick up their copy. System libraries were mailed or couriered October 1st. I will be mailing out the rest this month.
If you haven’t already, please fill out the 2008 Materials Order Form.
I will be ordering the materials that ODL will purchase by the December 1 deadline so you can have them by March 1st. I need all libraries to have the 2008 Materials Order Form submitted by November 16, 2006.
Since yours truly is still in the low end of the learning curve, the evaluations for both workshops are available via Survey Monkey; Children’s and Young Adult’s. Both surveys lead directly to the CEU mailing list. Fill out this survey to add your name to the mailing list if you forgot to pick up yours.
I will be uploading the Children’s and Young Adult’s packets on the CYA Wiki: CYApedia for download for those who were unable to attend. Notes are still being gathered from both days and will be uploaded as soon as possible.
Please fax, mail, call or e-mail the Hosting/Inquiry sheets (white sheets from the packet) by the end of October.
Don’t forget your homework! Send in your programming ideas for the 2009 SRP (music and the arts, Be Creative @ Your Library/Express Yourself @ Your Library) and slogan suggestions for 2010 SRP (Water).
I will post/e-mail information about the statewide movie license, gaming, children’s programming, spring SRP workshops, etc as I gather information.
Finally, I’m off on vacation next week. Take and send pictures of your Teen Read Week!
Thank you all so very much for attending and participating. I had a fun and I hope you did, too.
