Early Bird Registration for ALSC National Institute ends June 30

The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) invites members to take advantage of early bird registration for the 2012 National Institute. Early bird registration ends June 30, 2012.

ALSC members can save up to $95 if they register before June 30. Non-ALSC members also receive a discount if they register before August 24, 2012. ALSC also invites students to register for this event. Students receive the largest discount whether they are ALA/ALSC members or not.

On September 20 - 22, 2012 ALSC will host its biennial National Institute in Indianapolis, Indiana. This two and a half day workshop, devoted solely to children's and youth library services, offers a small, intimate setting for participating in programming and getting to know colleagues.

Programs will delve into some of the most important topics in library service to children such as using technology in your programming, what's hot in children's spaces, working with underserved populations, and using local partnerships to improve your programming.  You're sure to go home feeling reinvigorated about the profession and more connected to others in the field.

The Institute will be the kick-off to the Caldecott Award's 75th anniversary celebration and will feature a very special Breakfast for Bill to commemorate the occasion.  This star-studded event is sure to dazzle and inspire with award winning authors and illustrators scheduled to speak at the Institute include: Peter Brown, Denise Fleming, Eric Rohmann, Kevin Henkes, Gary Paulsen, April Pulley Sayre, and Doreen Rappaport.

The Institute is being held at the Sheraton Indianapolis City Centre in Indianapolis, Indiana.  Specifics regarding registration and programs are on the ALSC website at: www.ala.org/alscevents<http://www.ala.org/alscevents>. Questions? Contact ALSC Program Officer Jenny Najduch at jnajduch at ala.org<mailto:jnajduch at ala.org> or (312) 280-4026.

ALSC, a division of the ALA, is the world's largest organization dedicated to the support and enhancement of library service to children. With a network of more than 4,000 children's and youth librarians, literature experts, publishers and educational faculty, ALSC is committed to creating a better future for children through libraries.
