Some of the feedback we have received over the last few professional learning events indicates that you (our members, teacher librarians and/or other information professionals) would really like to attend workshops run by your peers.  You are interested in seeing and hearing about what other innovative programs are being run in school libraries.

Therefore, we have endeavoured to put together a program that includes teacher librarians from primary and secondary schools sharing about what they are doing in their libraries.

Topics include:

• Gaining literacy skills through blogging
• Reviews of CBCA Award nominees and the latest fiction
• Promoting literature through reading programs in secondary school
• Engaging reluctant readers
• Critical thinking through literature
• Investigating Visual Literacy
• Reading schemes

In addition, we have several authors who will be sharing their thoughts and experiences:

• Donna Rawlins
• Suzanne Gervay
• Queenie Chan
• Jeni Mawter
