Public Library Association Conference- Loida’s picks
March 12, 2008

The Public Library Association 12^th National Conference is coming up in two weeks. This year, we all go to Minneapolis to enjoy great weather.

I live a very busy life and I am always planning way ahead of time. This past weekend, I looked at the conference preliminary program and compiled my wish list:

Pre-Conference: Spanish Language Outreach

Tuesday, March 25 / 8:30am to 5:30pm

Pre-Conference: Bridging the Divide: Libraries Transform Communities

Wednesday, March 26 / 8:30 am to 12:00pm

Caught in the Middle: Immigration Controversy and Library Service

Thursday, March 27 / 8:30am (I am speaking on this panel!)

How Branding can Increase the Relevance of Your Library

Thursday, March 27 / 2:00pm

Bilingual Subject Headings for the 21^st Century

Friday, March 28 / 8:30am

Twenty Cultures, One Voice: Nuances and Challenges of Marketing Library Services to the Hispanic Community

Saturday, March 29 / 10:15am

PLA is going paperless so, don’t look for handouts because there will be none. Instead access the PLA page and save documents on your laptop. They will be available shortly before the conference.

See you @ PLA!
