KLA/MLA 2015 Libraries Without Borders Conference!

Yours truly, the RAT Queen, will be presenting at the upcoming state library conference, KLA/MLA 2015 Libraries Without Borders, being held in Kansas City, MO Wednesday, September 20 - Friday, October 2. It is a joint meeting for members of the Missouri Library Association (MLA) and the Kansas Library Association (KLA) which means double the fun and plenty of programs!

Not sure I was thinking clearly when I submitted them but had two proposals of my own* accepted, a general session program and a poster session and then volunteered (Yes, volunteered!) to be a presenter in two others, the Readers' Advisory pre-conference and a 4-speaker panel presentation about YA Lit. It's going to be a busy conference!

If you are coming to Kansas City, look for me at the following:

50 Shades of Quit Judging: Readers' Advisory, Intellectual Freedom, & Personal Taste (Pre-conference)

Developing RA Skills & Moral: Genre Studies & Team Building (general session) *

Six Degrees of Reading (poster session) *

So Your Youth Has Become Historical Fiction: Talk Up Your Era with Today's Readers (general session)


The full conference schedule is available at Libraries Without Borders. Follow the conference on Facebook and also on Twitter with @KLAMLA2015. You can even track all the readers' advisory programs by using hashtag #raBlitz15

Follow-up posts with additional information about each of the sessions listed above are forthcoming, so keep checking back for more! :-)
