About The Program

The 2022 Annual Meeting Program Committee, Lisa Maisonneuve of CrossCan, Margaret Bryant of Orca Book Publishers, and Holly Merriman of Ingram Content, are pleased to announce the meeting theme: Navigating the New Normal.   The educational sessions will now be done online and the networking and 1-on-1 meetings will be done in person May 9-11, 2022.

With the help of both SLJ and ASCD Smartbrief, our first education session on February 3, 2022 will give you the most up-to-date look at our current transitional period in education. Delving down deep through detailed analysis to find out what the ever changing needs are in classrooms and libraries. We’ll be looking at digital vs print; what will come out on top in the post-pandemic school? What are the best ways to market and how do libraries and classrooms want to be contacted? What’s top of mind when choosing resources this year?

In addition to the current/future snapshot of the classroom and library, the programming committee has also put together a session on Indigenous Voices to bring to light the need for Lived Experiences publishing in our schools and libraries.  This event date is March 30, 2022.  Here are brief biographies of our presenters.
