Visit the DLTCL SLP web page for handouts from the fall SLP workshop held at the Wildlife Sanctuary in Green Bay just prior to the WLA conference. Registration for the workshop closed early but you can still get this very useful information. There may even be something cool to share at our very own OWLS SLP workshop scheduled for Friday, February 8th.

The Wisconsin State Parks Dept. has agreed to offer daily park passes in the summer of 2008 in conjunction with the SLP. They are using their own variation of the national theme for state parks in 2008, "No Child Left Inside."

If you want me to contact the Outagamie and Waupaca County Fair Associations to try to arrange a pass to the county fair as an SLP incentive, please let me know.

While Children's Book Week has traditionally been celebrated in November, next year the celebration will move to May 12-18, 2008. This decision was made by the Children's Book Council, Inc., after much discussion with teachers, librarians and booksellers from around the country. Many of the teachers and librarians noted that this will be a great way to culminate the school year and to link Children's Book Week to local summer reading programs, perhaps even making Children's Book Week the launch of summer reading.
