The conference dates are Oct 1st-3rd.  Conference will start at 1:00 pm on Wednesday and end at 12:00 pm on Friday.  The hours are to accommodate those traveling.  There will be a special track on Wednesday afternoon for those working in school libraries that will cover:

• New maker space ideas and technology
• How to get today's students to want to read.
• • They get overwhelmed with life, and they do not read.

• A presentation on collection development and weeding and development of a collection policy and how to generate a weeding list.

• Book repair

• The promotion of Public Library Summer Reading (and other fun Summer Library programs) that could be shared our students.

• Working with public libraries to send home library card applications.

On Wednesday evening there will be a "carnival type" gathering at the Idaho Falls Public Library that will include a dunk tank with your favorite and not so favorite Idaho Librarians, as well as other type of games, competitions and fun food like hotdogs, popcorn, corndogs and hopefully your favorite adult beverages.  (Still working on the adult beverage angle.)  Look for the complete program to be published soon on this website.
