About the Event

 

The children's Services Division 2010 Spring Workshop will be
held on Friday, March 5th from 10:00 am-4:00 pm at the Albany Public  Library. This
year's morning sessions will be presented by celebrated author
Virginia Euwer Wolff and co-presenter Jim Tindall. They will be exploring the topics
of "How to host an author or illustrator at your library" and "How to
present a reader's theater" based on Virginia's book, "Bat 6",
one of the Oregon Reads books of 2009. This is also your chance to share
your creative ideas for programs, activities, crafts, and more - inspired by
this year's "Make a Splash-Read" and "Make Waves at your library" summer
reading themes. At lunchtime, we will be presenting the Evelyn Sibley Lampman
award to a "librarian, author, or educator who has made a significant
contribution in the areas of literature and/or library service for the benefit
of the children of Oregon". 
Registration is $20 which includes a catered lunch. The registration
deadline is February 24th. The registration form will be
available online at the OLA CSD website:
