Buffet Dinner, 6-7pm
Booktalking Bonanza, 7-9pm
Participation is not optional for CTLE credit. Literature connection has been requested in evaluations for the last few years and this will be fun. At this booktalk networking experience, interested participants will contribute two slides prior to the Institute to a shared Google Slides presentation, one focusing on a book that they will booktalk and one on one way they cultivate a culture of reading in their libraries. Submissions will be categorized and grouped based on responses to a brief survey; participants will spend a glorious hour or more sharing with and being inspired by each other in a small group setting and, in so doing, they will become more effective at meeting the new Standards. “Booktalk leaders” are still needed! See the "Book Bonanza" webpage for more information about this program and to sign up to be a booktalker!
Scholarship Auction,9pm-10:30pm
The auction and mixer is a “kick back and relax” while you support a great cause kinda’ night (does NOT count towards CTLE). After the Book Bonanza, we will turn the meeting room into an auction house where ALL the proceeds will go to the scholarship fund for 2019. This year we have 16 people on scholarship due to this auction! Visit the auction webpage for more information on how to support this worthy event.
