AISL Conference

I just returned from the annual AISL Conference in Colorado. This was my first time attending the independent school librarian association. There were 125 librarians from across the states and Canada who attended this three day conference where we visited schools in both Boulder and Denver. Keynote speakers included: Ingrid Law, T.A. Barron, and Debbie Ablilock. Some of the workshop presenters were: Holli Buchter, Hutch Tibbets, and Judith Snyder. Topics included ebooks in independent schools, low-tech library solutions, library design of the 21st century, partnering with your public library and digital storytelling.
