I would highly recommend attending this conference if you live in Greater Cincinnati, or even the region! I have several former colleagues involved whose expertise, especially in the areas of early literacy, go above and beyond the call of typical library programs and suggested reading lists.
Unfortunately, my student pennies are already booked for a few other conference (ahem, YALSA!), so I will likely not be attending — but if you are a “Real Librarian” a.k.a. a responsible “real” adult with money, go, go, go!
