What an opportunity to attend ALA in our own state! Midwinter Conference is January 23-27th and registration is now available. If you just want to attend a preconference or the exhibits, you can! The Colorado Association of Libraries is sponsoring their own preconference and it's going to be a good one. Here's the blurb:
"The Transformational Powers of the Library: Ensuring the Future of Your Library.
Colorado Association of Libraries"
Friday, January 23, 2009, 9:00 am – 4:30 pm
Information about public library funding is presented based on research from the latest OCLC report, From Awareness to Funding. The research shows that people who experience the library as a transformational force in their lives are more likely to support tax increases to fund libraries. Listen to a panel that will highlight ways in which they are working to position their organizations as transformational and leave with some creative take-aways on aligning your advocacy and marketing efforts from Barnhart Communications.
