Are you interested in learning more about how you can create a collaborative relationship with the school in your community? Join us on November 11 for a day-long conference bringing together library staff members from school, public and academic libraries to learn about how they can support one another to create an environment of student achievement. Let's break down those silos and work together as one community. Registration is $45 per person and includes lunch. We hope to see you in Bay City!
