2008 State Kick Off Training will be on October 16, 2007

At the request of the Youth Services Section (YSS) of the Wisconsin Library Association (WLA), the Division is collaborating with ten Systems to offer a fall Summer Reading Program Kick-Off Training. This will take place on Tuesday, October 16, 2007 at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary in Green Bay, the day before the WLA Conference. This may seem very early, but many librarians have expressed interest in a fall program to get them started on their planning. Many Systems (Nicolet included) also intend to offer spring C.E.. programs, in addition to this state-wide training. The collaborating Systems have contributed the funds to underwrite the training. As a result, the anticipated costs to the participants are primarily for lunch and breaks. 

Registration materials will be distributed in mid-August.

Collaborating Systems are Arrowhead, Eastern Shores, Indianhead,
Mantitowoc-Calumet, Milwaukee, Nicolet, South Central, Waukesha, Winnefox, and Wisconsin Valley.
