Greetings! I hope this finds you well. SSL is looking for quality programming for the 2013 NYLA Annual Conference to support the professional development and growth of its members. If you have an idea for a program that would be suitable for the 2013 NYLA Annual Conference, please submit a completed Program Proposal form (URL: http://www.nyla.org/images/nyla/files/2012-Conference_Program_Proposal_Form.pdf) to Livia Sabourin by December 25, 2012. Please remember the theme of the upcoming conference, “Libraries Spark Imagination,” when proposing your program. See the attached letter for additional details.

Letter in Defense of School Librarians

Greetings All,

If you are aware of a school library media specialist position that is slated for elimination in the 2012-13 school year, please send me the name of the school and (if possible) the names of the superintendent and school board president.

NYLA is issuing letters in defense of school librarians to all districts that are considering this terrible move.

Many thanks,

----Jeremy Johannesen
