[Libs-Or] OLA Conference, April 19th - 22nd.

['Michele Burke']

Dear Library Colleagues,

I hope that you have all been receiving messages about the OLA conference
this April 19th-22nd in Salem (see below).

This is the first year we will have a Saturday option and we are very
grateful to the Salem Public Library for providing the venue. We hope this
will make it easier for our school library colleagues to attend, and we're
celebrating with a fun author event Friday night.

Our Thursday keynote speaker is Portland City Commissioner, Chloe Eudaly
<https://www.portlandoregon.gov/eudaly/>. What can I say, except "Do an
Internet search and read about this intriguing person!"

Please call or email me with questions, or if there's anything at all I can
do to help.
I'm looking forward to seeing many of you at the conference!
