day of professional development, idea-sharing, networking, and learning, unconference style. In 2015, we'll gather April 24th at Kalamazoo Public Library. Hosted by Lisa Mulvenna (Clinton-Macomb PL), Anne Clark (Alice and Jack Wirt PL, Bay City), and Andrea
Vernola (Kalamazoo PL), the <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/sotomorowblog.com/mikidlib2015/">
MI KidLib Unconference</a> will feature relevant and engaging sessions decided on by participants at the conference. And as is typical of an Unconference, it's FREE to attend. Registration begins in January 2015.
