REGISTRATION HOURS Wednesday, 5 pm to 9 pm Thursday, 7 am to 5 pm Friday, 7 am to 5 pm to the Ontario Library Saturday, 7 am to noon Association's Super Conference for 2004! We are celebrating Super Heroes and that means you and me and the wonderful speakers with whom we will interact and draw our inspiration. As a profession, we have always pursued learn­ LIZ KERR ing with a great passion. Whether you are new OLA President 2003 Chair, OLA Board of Directors to the profession or a seasoned veteran, exciting sessions of all kinds are here to stretch your thinking and challenge your ideas and opin­ ions. Libraries are one of the cornerstones of a flour­ ishing free and democratic society. As new trends and technologies have emerged, so too have we reinvented ourselves to keep pace. We are in the genesis of yet another period of sig­ nificant evolution as we transform into full partnership with our real and virtual learning communities. The Ontario Library Association has almost 4,500 members, making it among the top five in North America. The work of your Association is demonstrated in many important initiatives - the Ontario Digital Library, the Libraries Advance Ontario@ your library Marketing Plan, the Reading Program, the Education Institute, the professional publications with their changing face - and Super Conference. A satisfying conference experience is not com­ plete without social times with peers and col­ leagues that allow us to share our experience, our questions and our solutions. The 2004 Super Conference team has created a program that has it all! So have fun and return to your workplace with renewed passion and resolve!
