On the fence about attending the 2024 OLA Conference in Salem? Check out our first three  conference "menus". May we suggest: 
"The Policy Wonk" is an experience for those policy and procedure-minded folks looking to build strong scaffolding for themselves, their organizations, and their patrons. 
"The Reader" is a book-centered schedule for book worms and dragons alike. If you love collection development, we've got you covered. 
"The Champion" focuses on creating libraries that embrace and amplify all its workers, supporters, and patrons. A wide scope of interesting discussions, presentations, and experiences. 
If the attached images are not accessible for you, we're happy to send you the content as plain text. As a reminder, early bird registration ends on Friday, March 22. See you there!

Overdue: Weeding Out Oppression in Libraries
Podcast Series, Launched 3/31/22
Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Antiracism (EDIA) Committee

Season 2, Episode 11: Building Relationships Through Libraries
with Ray Pun
 

In this episode, Dr. Raymond (Ray) Pun (academic and research librarian at the Alder Graduate School of Education) shares insights on effective library advocacy through collaboration and community building, advice for aspiring librarians of color, and the value of involvement in the American Library Association and committee work.

We hear about Ray's career transition from public to academic libraries, delve into the intersection of social justice and intellectual freedom (Ray introduces us to ALA's Book Resumes for banned books!), and touch on AI in education. Don't miss Ray's vision for ALA as a 2025-2026 presidential candidate.

The 2024 ALA Election Period runs from March 11, 2024 through April 3, 2024:
