Tennessee Library Day

Monday, April 9th is Tennessee Library Day. 


Please join us at the State Capitol to celebrate with people who love libraries! We'll have a short program for advocates at 3:30, and will serve refreshments in the hall from 4-5 p.m.


Registration is now open! You can register online, or in person at the TLA Conference next week. There is no cost for this event. Please spread the word; we want a good turnout. 


Please invite your legislators to join you at the Capitol, in the Old Supreme Court Chambers on the first floor. This is just steps away from where the General Assembly convenes at 5 p.m. 


Questions? Post in the comments.

Badges for the Conference

The conference countdown has begun! There's lots of work happening behind the scenes to make this year's TLA Conference in Knoxville a great success. 
Tell the world what you're
doing at TLA 2012!  


There's a great line-up of speakers, sessions and exhibitors. I'm also putting the final touches on our very first conference app! More details on that next week. 


If you're attending, speaking, or tweeting the event, please consider sharing the news with one of the nifty conference badges, courtesy of Courtney Fuson and featuring this year's logo.
