Calling All Librarians! Take a peek at PD Offerings!

During this week of many librarians gathering in Seattle for the NCCE conference this week http://www.ncce.org/, and the 13th Annual Children's Literature Conference in Bellingham http://wwuclc.com/ I am struck by the value of gathering and affiliation.

I also want to look ahead to 5 other future conferences that might be on your radar:
• NWAIS (Independent Schools) Librarians Conference March 18, @ Overlake

• WLA in Spokane April 27-29 http://www.wla.org/wla-2016-conference-home
• ISTE in Denver June 25-29 https://conference.iste.org
• ALA in Orlando June 23-28 http://2016.alaannual.org/
• WLMA16 Fall Conference Oct 15 http://www.wla.org/wlma-conference-2016

I also want to mention that as affiliates of both ISTE and ALA, WLMA members have the opportunity to participate as delegates sharing and learning through those organizations representative assemblies. I invite any/all WLMA members who are considering attending either ISTE or ALA conferences to take on that role as part of your conference experience. It's a great way to learn and share, to serve our professional association while gaining through networking and leadership opportunities they provide.

Drop me a note if you are wary, curious or enthusiastic and I'd be happy to help connect you with the process-and benefits- when associations associate!
