I was informed yesterday that my Professor from TWU, Dr. Maria Cahill, and I have been accepted to present a paper and host a panel discussion at the American Library Association's annual conference in New Orleans next June! We will be discussing the fundamentals of storytime and how they are implemented into quality children's television. Can you believe it? I *almost* can't! We have been waiting months to hear back, and we are both a little shocked to be accepted. This is like the Mother Ship calling us home!
What's ALA? Don't even get me started....
“The object of the American Library Association shall be to promote library service and librarianship.” The stated mission is, “To provide leadership for the development, promotion, and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all.” ~ ALA Constitution
