The Posters will offer a QR, bookmarks or handouts so you will have the opportunity to share and borrow ideas from other Super Librarians!
Presenters need not remain with their poster - but must consider how to position/support your poster on a table provided (space approximately 3' square).

Local Author "Speed Dating"

We will have a large group of local authors who write for different age levels K-12 (or adult crossover).
- Conference attendees will have a chance to visit 4 tables of their choice in the time slot.
- Authors will be available after the speed dating to sign books and talk to attendees.
- This will give conference attendees a wider variety of authors to connect with to see if they would be available for an author visit at their schools.
