Our annual conference is underway! This morning we are kicking things off with a preconference event sponsored by NESLA. NESLA decided that it would make sense to offer some preconference days for its members tied to state conferences, and MSLA was the first to take them up on this exciting offer.
Today, we arrived early on Cape Cod (where it promises to be above freezing!) to gather as NESLA President Irene Kwidinski gave the annual awards out for NESLA, to announce NESLA's new ability to offer webinars, and to hold a brief annual meeting.
The highlight of our day is a presentation on Nonfiction and the Common Core. We are waiting to hear from Paige Jaeger and author Melissa Stewart about how to effectively use excellent nonfiction books in engaging students and teachers in this new focus of the Common Core standards.
Throughout the weekend, we look forward to having librarians with us from around the state and around New England. Please check in here for updates throughout the weekend as we gather and learn.
