Some stuff to talk about!
Just some quick things to mention for everyone.
First of all: we are almost done getting things cemented in for our Fall meeting in HAstings! We are going to have a discussion about intellectual freedom in your school and public library and their collections with people who KNOW. Learn about some amazing author visits Stacy Lickteig hosted at Bryan High School and get inspired to have your own! Share ways in which you partner with your public library or school library and get some great suggestions. We'll be doing more things than that, eat donuts and coffee, and give away some prizes (including and autographed Ellen Hopkins book in celebration of Banned Book Week).
I'll be getting the flier/signup out to the mailing list and link posted by Wednesday, so keep an eye on your mailboxes and this blog.
Second up: NLA elections! It is time to get your next YART officers (and other NLA positions) elected. Head to NLA site, log in, and vote!
Thirdly: Just a quick suggestion for programming and fun. I just discovered that my favorite board game publisher of all time, Cheapass Games has started making some of their games available as PDF files for free download! Check it out! Some amazing games that your patrons and students will love and you can't beat the price!
Edit: I should add that though the games are free, it would be nice to drop a dollar or two as a donation so they can keep doing this.
