CSLA State Board, Northern Region Board, and Southern Region Board

A long time ago, the CSLA state board members met in person. That seems almost quaint now in our times of cost saving virtual meetings. But we still need that face time (e.g., you know how emails can sometimes be misconstrued) to communicate with one another about the direction of our great organization. We meet in person in August (recent past, present, and near future board members) and at our conference in February. The board continues to be a dedicated group of professionals working to create, support, and nurture an organization that represents you, the California school library person!
The other ten months we meet online for a couple of hours on a Saturday. And there is a Northern Region Board and Southern Region Board doing much the same thing.
I'm writing this rather pedestrian post to let all CSLA members know that we welcome all members to run for board positions, and that our work is not mysterious. Our work is invigorating and the people are fun! Contact any of us listed at http://csla.net/ in the "About" section if you're interested in exploring ways to pitch in.

CSLAsr February Event! Section 1 - Bakersfield

Section 1 Event

The Public Libraries serve many of our School Library patrons.  Creating a partnership with the Public Libraries may help them serve our patrons better, and allow us to offer more resources when we don’t have something available in our library. 

CSLA Southern Region, Section 1, invites all CSLA members and library personnel to explore the possibilities of a partnership with the Public Library.

When:   Wednesday, February 13, 2013

Time:    4pm-6pm

Where:  Beale Memorial Library

             701 Truxtun Avenue

             Bakersfield, CA 93301

What:  We will get a tour of the Beale Memorial Library, and then meet in a reserved room.  Two public librarians, including the children’s librarian, will join us for great collaboration and discussion time.  This should open some dialogue about how we can work together to support our mutual patrons, including the new Common Core State Standards.

RSVP:  In order to provide enough drinks and snacks, I need to know how many people are coming.  Please RSVP by February 11, to Sondra Keckley at Sondra_keckley <AT> kernhigh.org

Cost:  Free to CSLA members, $5 for non-members
