<p class="MsoNormal">The annual OELMA Conference is on and in person! For the first time in over a year the librarians of Ohio are finally able to get back together for a day of exciting professional development opportunities! The date is set for October 9,
2021! It will be a one day conference but we already have some great things lined up including graphic novelist Derf Backderf, creator behind
<em>My Friend Dahmer</em>, <em>Trashed</em>, and most recently <em>Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio.
</em>Dhonielle Clayton, author of <em>The Belles </em>and <em>Tiny Pretty Things </em>
(now a Netflix series!), and COO of the nonprofit organization We Need Diverse Books, will also be joining us virtually at the conference.
