Florida Library Association's New Performers' Showcase To Be Inaugurated At This Year's Annual Conference

My name is Cheryl Fishman and I am a children’s librarian in Boynton Beach, which is in South Palm Beach County.  I have the pleasure of informing you about a new FLA Annual Conference event called the Performers’ Showcase.  This event will take place at the conference on Wednesday, April 7th, 2010 at the Rosen Plaza Hotel in Orlando. 

The purpose of this showcase is to provide librarians who work with youth (children and teens) and/or adults a forum in which they can preview quality performers for library programs.  This is an opportunity for librarians to get a “taste” of what a program may look like in their library before they decide to hire them. 

The current committee needs your help in preparing and executing this brand new event.  The FLA leadership and the Performers' Showcase Committee are looking to Youth Services Group Members to assist in the development and actual administration of the Performers’ Showcase.  We are recruiting you to actively participate in this endeavor!

Videos for workshop at FLA conference

Hello FLA members and conference goers!

 

We're searching for examples of Florida libraries using video to feature in the upcoming FLA Conference Workshop "Hey! I Saw You on That Library Video!" If you have posted videos about your library's programming, fundraisers, training, just-for-fun on YouTube, your library's website or on other video-hosting sites, send us the address. We'd love to highlight some of your video clips at the conference workshop! Please consider sending the website and other information about your video and how you use it to promote your library.

The workshop will be Thursday, May 7 at 10:30 am during the conference. We'd love to see you there!
