Registration Funding Available for ALA Conference

LIBRAS will pay the registration for any member librarian who wishes to attend the ALA Conference in June 2005. LIBRAS will pay the early bird registration rate. Early bird registration ends on March 4, 2005. You may still take advantage of LIBRAS' offer to fund registration after that date; however, it will only be at the early bird rate. You will be responsible for additional expenses.

To apply for registration send a completed Continuing Education Application to Luann DeGreve, Continuing Education Coordinator along with proof of registration. At the end of the conference, each member is required to submit a 1-2 page written report on the content of his experience.

In addition, "Empowering Library Support Staff for the 21st Century" is a two-day conference being held on June 25-26, 2005 in Chicago. More information and registration details are available at http://www.ala.org/ala/eventsandconferencesb/annual/2005a/librarysupport.htm.

LIBRAS continuing education funds are available for this conference within a conference. Fill out the Continuing Education Application on the LIBRAS Web Site. If you have any questions, please contact Luann DeGreve at ldegreve@ben.edu.
