Greetings! Although I subscribed to LM_NET a few years ago as part of a class toward an MLS, it is the request of a colleague to share some conference information that prompts my first post. Well, that and the need to thank everyone for the fabulous information provided here. Hopefully I will be able to return the favor occasionally. I am currently a Library Specialist in a rural library, but am continuing courses toward an MLS and work closely with the local public schools and their students. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sorry this wasn't posted in a more timely manner, but thought the information might be of interest to some. I would like to take this opportunity to invite you, your colleagues and students to a colloquium sponsored by the Center for Children’s Literature and Culture at the University of Florida, Cultural Services of the Consulate General of France in Miami, The Alachua County Library District, The Howe Society and The Baldwin Library of Historical Children's Literature of the University of Florida Libraries and The France-Florida Research Institute on April 2nd and 3rd. "Transforming Encounters: Children’s Libraries Unbound" will explore a range of approaches, new and traditional, historical and contemporary, of bringing books into children's lives. Please view our website for the impressive list of international and national librarians and educators, including Genevieve Patte, Joie Par Les Livres, Bibliothèque des Enfants, Paris, France and Ann Carlson Weeks, Professor, University of Maryland, College of Information Studies and the International Children's Digital Library who will give presentations and take part in panel discussions. Another local presentation highlights school, public library and museum cooperation to encourage science literacy in our elementary and middle schools in Florida. Tours of the Harn Museum will also be included. These events are free and open to the public. Please check the website for more information and the for the registration form. http://www.clas.ufl.edu/cclc/transform/ I hope the faculty and students of your school can join us. I thank you in advance for your help. Best wishes, Lauren M.
