President’s CONFERENCE MESSAGE
Welcome to the 111th California Library Association Annual Conference in beautiful Pasadena!
In the spirit of my theme of “Reach Out!”, this year’s Conference Committee has reached out to all types of libraries and beyond in order to bring you an eclectic mix of opportunities for continuing education. This program is packed with interesting workshops, poster sessions, and speakers as well as great choices for fun and social interaction.
In addition we are happy to be welcoming the Southern California Library Literacy Network to Conference as part of their annual professional development day. They are sharing registration and exhibits with us.
Beginning with a rousing and laughter-filled Opening Session, featuring Paula Poundstone, to appreciating the fun of customer service with the “Unshelved” duo of Bill Barnes and Gene Ambaum, and ending with the inspiration of California’s 2009 “LJ Movers and Shakers,” the Conference is meant to provide you with much to take home.
