Hey!! A few updates...
The KASL Summer Refresher was awesome! Thank you to Rhonda Bell, Emily Northcutt, Jen Gilbert, the presenters, and everyone who helped to make it a great conference! Congratulations to all of the award winners! PLEASE go ahead and save the dates NOW for July 8 and 9, 2024, in Owensboro. Alan Gratz will be keynoting!
Professional Learning Opportunities: Some great learning opportunities are still available this summer. Most of the TeachMeets are happening this coming week. Please keep in mind the location change for the Eastern Kentucky TeachMeet.
The KET Professional Learning Day was tons of fun. They have uploaded the sessions to their YouTube channel!
K.C. Boyd (The Boss Librarian) has a super lineup of virtual learning specifically for school librarians coming up.
It is 4 days of sessions (which I think will also be recorded). You can check out the schedule and register here.
KYVL Reminder: Kentucky Virtual Library invoices were sent to districts for the 23/24 school year. Unfortunately, 22/23 was the last year for reimbursement from KDE. The invoice email from KYVL has a great list of membership benefits. Please get in touch with KYVL if you have any questions about your invoice. kyvl@ky.gov
SLC: The bad news is that School Library Connection is no longer publishing new content. A small bit of good news is that we have access to all their online content for another year. There are 3300 articles on almost any school library topic, 65 webinars, and 46 self-paced courses. https://www.schoollibraryconnection.com/ Let me know if you need the username and password.
Don't hesitate to contact me any time if you need anything, and continue having a great summer!!!
