The 2007 NYLA Conference Programmers are delighted to present you with three and a half days of Pre-conference CE programs: 7 learning opportunities that focus on Libraries: Learning for Life, this year’s conference theme.This theme encompasses every type of library and every librarian, trustee, library assistant, advocate and friend: everything we do is geared towards helping our clients and patrons achieve their learning goals.This year’s Conference Programs: over 90 conference focuses on providing you with opportunities to reach your learning goals, too. For the first time, there is a President’s Program track of programs that exemplify the conference theme. Lights! Camera! Action! Movie Screening of NYLA’s sections, roundtables, committees and affiliates worked hard to develop and present a wide range of programming for every level of library professional. Conference programmers The Kite Runner were asked to pose these questions about every program idea: at the Vitality Fund Event Does the program excel in content? Does it provide something that attendees can walk away with? NYLA 2007 Library Products Does it stimulate connections? Does it help colleagues discover others with whom they share similar experiences? and Services Trade Show Is it a program that you yourself wouldn’t want to miss?

Mr. Bruchac, of Abenaki, English and Slovakian descent, has found his Native American heritage to be a great source of inspiration. In Native American cultures stories always have lessons. The best ones, he thinks, tell people how they should act toward the earth and toward each other. They “contain knowledge that, like an elder’s voice, can help guide a young person along a trail on which his or her feet have never been.” From Thirteen Moons on Turtle’s Back (with Jonathan London) to The First Strawberries,The Great Ball Game, Children of the Longhouse,The Arrow Over the Door, Pushing Up the Sky, How Chipmunk Got His Stripes (with James Bruchac) to Code Talker, we see these themes and how they resonate with young people. UNCHEONS With the work he has done with Michael Caduto, Keepers of the L Animals,Keepers of the Earth,Keepers of Life,and Keepers of the Night he has given an ecological gift of stories and activities to librarians and teachers.
