Letter for Administrators
From collection development, instruction, programming, and more, this is the only conference of its kind in the Pacific Northwest, dedicated to all facets of school library management. If you need more information to share with your administrator to support funding, here is a letter from OASL President Kate Jacobson Dutro. And while sessions are still being developed, last year's schedule can give administrators and decision-makers a glance into what to expect at the conference.
