It really was spectacular.

11/11/2019

 
Thank you to all who shared in our Fall Spectacular adventure on October 5th! We had over eighty five attendees and twenty presenters including a baby kangaroo and tween alligator! Not quite what I had in mind when I offered to host it at my building, but it was a pretty epic day all around.  Also, my sincere gratitude to those of you who shared your feedback on this endeavor. Your comments and thoughts will guide us as we consider conference planning for 2020! 

It was an honor to award Dr. Sherry Crow with the Distinguished Service Award for her dedication and commitment to the school library community in Nebraska.  I’m also extremely happy to report that we were able to keep it a secret for as long as we did.  

The resource Padlet is still available, and is packed with many of the great presentations we saw during our day of learning.  The day was truly a whirlwind for me, so this has been a great way to catch up on the bits of greatness I glimpsed throughout the day.  

It was also a thrill to take over the AASL Instagram for the day with our Executive Secretary, Mandy Peterson.  Jump over to Instagram and scroll back a bit to see some of the amazing moments including breakfast sponsored by Mackin, book talks, connections and loads of laughter.  We have also posted some of the comments from our feedback survey on our social media outlets. Your words were so meaningful and humbling as we wrapped up the final details after the conference.  

With the crazy, busy days of the beginning of the school year behind us, it was nice to take a breath of crisp Autumn air and connect with our community.  These amazing professionals know our story and walk our walk each day serving students and bring school libraries to life in so many great ways. 

If you have a story to share, please submit it in our Library Spotlight! 

Enjoy the rest of the Autumn and best wishes for a great school year. 

Cynthia Stogdill
NSLA President
