The schedule - plus business cards of our sponsors, exhibitors and some of the session leaders -can be viewed at http://www.librarysupportersnetwork.com/agenda.html.
The committee chose to change the format up this year. We've got a keynote session, a lunch program and a closing session. Between each of those 1-hour programs will be 1-hour break-out sessions. Naturally, there'll be plenty of time and encouragement for networking with one another and with the exhibitors while enjoying the tasty refreshments made by the Decatur Civic Center's on-site chef!
We're grateful for SYNG grant funding which has enabled us to develop and offer this collection of programs sure to appeal to library supporters.
