Great librarians need nourishing and pampering! Come and grow with other librarians as you feed your professional soul at the Youth Services Section of the New York Library Association's Annual Spring Conference. Barbara Genco, President of the American Library Association's Association for Library Service to Children, our keynote speaker, will welcome and inspire us. Morning and afternoon workshops on topics such as The Invisible Web, Cooking Programs with Children, Crafts for Summer, Scrapbooking 101, and Reading Rants and Great YA Books, (to name only a few) will nourish you with new ideas. If that's not enough, you'll be pampered with a wonderful lunch as you listen to author-illustrator Maira Kalman, known for many children's books such as Fireboat, Max Makes a Million, and Next Stop, Grand Central.
This year's conference will be held on Friday, April 4 at the Wyndham Wind Watch Hotel, 1717 Motor Parkway, Hauppauge, Long Island, New York from 8:15 AM to 3:30 PM.
