Invitation: CALA/NE Chapter is excited to invite its members and interested librarians to

attend the upcoming "Future Development and Service of Global Children’s Librarianship Conference", which takes place August 8-10, 2011 in New York City.

About the Conference

The Future Development and Service of Global Children’s Librarianship conference

is sponsored by the Chinese American Librarians Association (CALA) and the Library Society

of China (LSC), and hosted by four libraries in NYC: the C.V.Starr East Asian Library of

Columbia University, and three of the most dynamic and comprehensive library systems

in the United States: the Brooklyn Public Library, Queens Library, and the New York Public Library.  A delegation of 80 library administrators from China's academic and public libraries

will join American librarians at this conference. The conference will include a series of presentations and discussions which will focus on library services to the youth, technological development in libraries, and ways to collaborate nationally and internationally. The conference is the first of its kind sponsored by Chinese  and American library associations on this topic and will have long term impact on librarianship in both countries.
