Friday December 3, 2010 Banquet Keynote Speaker: Steven Kellogg “The Art of the Picture Book”

Steven Kellogg is the acclaimed illustrator and author of over one hundred picture books and is a recipient of the prestigious Regina Medal for his lifetime contribution to children’s literature. When he is not creating books in his studio in Essex, New York, he is doing programs for children, parents, teachers, and librarians throughout the country. He says, “I want the time that the reader shares with me and my work to be an enjoyable experience – one that will encourage an enthusiastic lifetime association with pictures, words, and books.”

Saturday December 4, 2010 Breakfast Keynote Speaker: Toni Buzzeo “Collaborating from the Center of Your School Universe for Student Success” 

Imagine the school as a universe. While there is a temptation to imagine that we've reached a time of collapse in that universe, as federal law drives our practice and measures our outcomes, perhaps our schools will, instead, expand and grow in positive ways, our students' learning and achievement accelerating as they do. To ensure this positive outcome, the essential response of the school librarian is effective collaborative practice.  Author and school librarian Toni Buzzeo will inspire you to collaborate from the center of your school universe!
