Conference coming, Oh my!

The emails have been coming fast and furious, reminding us about this and that event at the PaLA 2010 Annual Conference, which begins Sunday, October 24th, in Lancaster. If you're at all like me, you are just now mapping out your schedule. So to help you, here's a schedule of events that are either being sponsored by the CRD or that the CRD is participating in.

If you'd like like to blog any event at the conference, and you are a member of the CRD but not a blog member yet, just send me an email (lneyer (at) bloomu (dot) edu) and ask for an 'invitation'.

See you soon!
