Ahh…The Magic of Libraries...does it seem like there are more and more magical and mystical twists to keep up with everything that's happening in libraries and librarianship? New technologies, and electronic formats challenge the traditional issues of copyright, intellectual freedom, administration, reference and instruction. Are you keeping up? Are you prepared for the future? Keynote speaker Joan Frye Williams, Information Technology Consultant will present The Crystal Ball of Libraries at the Idaho Library Association Annual Conference at the Shilo Inn in Idaho Falls, October 1-4, 2008. Children’s author Gary Hogg will be the luncheon speaker on Thursday, October 2, and young adult fantasy author Heather Tomlinson will be the luncheon speaker on Friday, October 3. Also, picture book author Trudy Harris will present on Thursday. Of course, all these authors' books will be available for purchase and signing. Additionally, there are workshops to focus on the needs and interests of each of the divisions: public libraries, academic & special libraries, educational media, and trustees.
