2009 Conference Highlight
Brag!: The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It, by Peggy Klaus was the One Conference, One Book from the 2009 CSLA "Embrace the Serendipity of Learning" Conference. Watch a video and see Jeanne's PowerPoint presentation from the Membership Forum during the conference to recall how to promote how school librarians help every student in the school. Brag video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGrOzWqTwv8 and Presentation http://www.csla.net/pdf/BragConferencePresentation.pdf. Tell a story, rather than list what you do in the library. As Jeanne Nelson says, "So many people in the organization are shining lights, doing amazing things, and not 'tooting their own horn.' [It's] definitely needed more than ever."
