Library Systems. Registration for the May 14 - May 15 event will begin
in March. 
 
For the first time, we are holding a contest to select speakers for
break-out 
sessions. We are looking for presenters who are willing to share some of
their 
fantastic program ideas with others attending the conference. Focus for
the 
programs should be for children in grades K - 4. A panel of three will
judge the 
entries, and there will be 3 presenters selected. Winners will receive
FREE 
CONFERENCE registration for the two-day event, and a paid hotel room for

Thursday night. The only cost to the winner will be travel costs to
Sandusky, 
Ohio. Deadline to enter the contest is March 27. (FIRM!)
