Last September I attended the Northwest Wisconsin Children's Book Conference up in Cable, WI (near Hayward). Despite the drive, it was well attended and very interesting! Kymberley Pelky also attended (see comment below) and enjoyed it. There were sessions on story time techniques, creative writing, songs and literature, AND....a presentation by the CCBC. You will be getting brochures this week with more information on this year's conference, held September 27 and 28 in Cable.
An NFLS librarian who attends the CCBC presentation on Thursday, May 24, will have a chance to go to the Northwest Wisconsin Children's Book Conference this year, on behalf of NFLS! We will cover one person's conference fee (includes, dinner, breakfast and lunch), one night of lodging and your mileage! Here is what you need to do:
1.
Sign up (if you haven't already) and attend the entire CCBC presentation at NFLS on May 24.
2. Register to win a chance at going to the Northwest Wisconsin Children's Book Conference by May 24. The drawing will be done after the CCBC workshop on May 25.
3. After you attend the conference, compose a post/article for "Little Nic," sharing what you learned.
As mentioned, your library will be receiving a conference brochure this week in the mail.
Please take part in this exciting promotion if you are interested!

I wanted to let everyone know, although it was a bit of a drive for me (but it's during the trees-changing-color week, so it's a beautiful drive!) the conference was great, focusing on many Wisconsin and Minnesota authors and book titles, which I really enjoyed. CCBC comes up, which is great for reviewing, if you feel the need, but otherwise, there were plenty of sessions to choose from, and sometimes handouts are available for the ones you miss (I had a hard time picking which ones to attend.)
