I know, I know! You are still in recovery from this year’s Summer Library Program! But if you have plans to attend the Wisconsin Library Association Conference in Milwaukee in November, you have the chance to get energized about the theme (NIGHT TIME) and inspired by colleagues from the southern part of the state:

Summer reading program aficionados from around the state are invited to attend the 2012 Dream Big – Read! SRP workshop at the Milwaukee Public Museum Planetarium and IMAX Theatre on Tuesday, November 1! Six systems in southeastern Wisconsin (Eastern Shores, Lakeshores, Mid-Wisconsin, Milwaukee County, Waukesha County and Winnefox) have collaborated to bring this session to youth services librarians and anyone with an interest in next year’s summer reading program theme.The fun begins at 1:00 PM and will end at 4:00, just in time for those of you going to WLA to get there in time for the vendor reception! Registration fee is $10.00, which can be paid at the door or in advance (checks payable to Lakeshores Library System). Check here for more information. If you have any questions, please contact Rhonda Puntney at rpuntney@lakeshores.lib.wi.us.

For those of you staying closer to home, remember to mark your calendar for our own IFLS Summer Library Program workshop on February 2 (February 3 is our snow date)! More details coming later…
