Information and collections: NLA presentations

Hello all!

Since it's March, that means......Time to start planning for OCTOBER!!!

If you were thinking of presenting at NLA (which you all should be thinking about!) then the link to get your topic on the list of potential presenters is here. So far, this link cannot be found on the NLA website, so you can thank you lucky stars that it's available from the folks at YART (and every other Round table, but we try to make ourselves sound awesome).

Again, NLA presentation proposal forms are live. We REALLY WANT to be active this year. If you haven't thought about presenting, you really should. Talk to fellow librarians in your building, or library staff, or librarians across town at the school in your community. Sharing is caring: Nobody has to do a presentation alone.

Do well, be brave.
