MAKING CONNECTIONS

It's happening! I'm making this post from the Internet Cafe of the Kalahari Convention Center, site of the 2006 WLA Conference. I've attended my first session, one on promoting your rural library. The informative meeting was led by John DeBacher of the Department of Public Instruction. John was aided by two small town librarians who gave interesting presentations on challenges rural libraries have to provide up-to-date services to their patrons. It was a great start to my convention.

The biggest problem I've seen is the choices you have to make regarding which sessions to attend. The biggest pleasure is seeing old friends.

It's not too late. You can come down for a one day session. It's definitely worth the time, effort, and the expenditure of a little "U.S. federal spending cash".
