The NHEMA conference committee is currently accepting proposals for our Spring Conference.  The theme of the Conference this year is “LIVE! From Your Library.”  In keeping with that theme, we are looking for presentations that talk about the various ways your library program has moved beyond the stereotypical repository of print materials.  Please share your strategies for keeping your program “alive” for students, staff, and the community…the possibilities are endless!  Now is the time to share your advocacy and programming ideas as well as your expertise with new technology innovations with your fellow library media specialists! 

We have more sessions in the planning and pending stages, but we need you!  Please plan now to attend and think of a presentation you can offer up to your colleagues. 

Although we cannot set our conference rates until we know our expenses and contributions, please estimate $100 per day or $180 for the two days if you need to encumber funds now.  Rooms at the North Conway Grand Hotel will be $89.00 per night and the conference rate will extend through the weekend for people who wish to stay on and shop or just enjoy the mountains!

 

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS: 

Doug Johnson
We’ll kick off our conference on Thursday with Doug Johnson, Director of Media and Technology for the Mankato, Minnesota Public Schools, as well as author of four books, a regular column in Library Media Connection and his Blue Skunk Blog which averages 50,000 visits a month.
