Virginia Association of School Librarians (VAASL) 2022 Annual Conference
Library Out Loud: Amplify Student Voices
You are invited to attend the 2022 VAASL Annual Conference, November 2-4, 2022, at the Williamsburg Lodge in Colonial Williamsburg. This year's theme is "Library Out Loud: Amplify Student Voices". As educators, one of our missions is to make room for student voices in their learning process, including our libraries. Discover how your library can invite students to "amplify their voices".
We are so excited to be welcoming the following authors and speakers:
Daniel Nayeri https://www.danielnayeri.com/ (Wednesday night event and Thursday Author Luncheon speaker)
Padma Venkatraman https://padmavenkatraman.com (Thursday Keynote)
John Rocco http://roccoart.com (Friday Keynote)
We're planning lots of exciting events starting with our Wednesday afternoon sessions and workshops and Wednesday evening events, continuing with great speakers, events, and authors all the way until we say goodbye on Friday afternoon.
The VAASL Board and Conference Planning Committee have worked hard to maximize the value of your annual conference registration fee. Conference registration includes a Wednesday evening food event, Thursday morning Continental President's Breakfast Reception, Thursday Author Luncheon, and Friday Awards Luncheon. Note: You can also choose the non-member conference rate, which includes a 2022-2023 VAASL membership/renewal.
Don't miss out on this great professional development and networking conference with fellow school librarians and educators. Register early to take advantage of the savings reflected in the Early Bird registration rates.
