Our conference theme, “Now More Than Ever” continues to be pertinent for 2010.  There is no better way to connect and network with colleagues, exhibitors, and presenters, learn new ideas, and obtain PDPs for recertification than going to our MSLA conference.  Also, one gets a chance to participate in the raffle drawings which include prizes for schools as well as personal prizes for librarians. 

Thank you to all our vendors who participated in our 2009 Conference Raffle, and congratulations to our winners:
