Which conference is your favorite? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.
Texas Library Association has always had an amazing conference in April of each year. It rotates locations between Dallas/San Antonio/Houston, and has in the past included Auston, Ft. Worth, and others. It has great key-note speakers, lots of authors, and relevant sessions to visit. All the vendors are there to represent their products.
On a personal note, I am so glad to find your site. I’ve been looking for like-minded Christian school librarians for more than a few years. Thank you.
Thanks for letting me know about the Texas conference, Kathryn. I’ve added it to my list.
The Indiana Library Federation Conference (of which AISLE is a part) is November 17-19 this year.
Thank you, Susie! I’ve added it to the list.
