Up to 3.5 hours of PDH are available, and you will also have plenty of time to network with other school library staff and talk about topics that may be on your mind.
While planning is ongoing, you can expect sessions about intellectual freedom, Illinois standards, weeding and collection management, classroom and behavior management, career paths in school librarianship, and more! You can also visit our sponsors virtually and learn more about library education programs at various colleges and universities in Illinois.
