Welcome
to the 2008 Joint Conference
In
this year of national elections, political candidates, and the democratic
process, we pause to think about leadership in every arena and what it
means to us, as Americas and as school librarians in Oregon and Washington
states. We elect to lead every day.
The
Oregon Association of School Libraries (OASL), and The Washington Library
Media Association (WLMA) Joint Conference 2008 will focus on themes that
support leadership in our libraries, schools, and communities.
