Hello all -- This year's TLA District 3 Fall Meeting is going to be fabulous, not just because I'm treasurer this year or because the wonderful Suzan Nyfeler will grace us with her presence on her birthday - that's Friday, October 17 at the Round Rock Higher Education Center, by the way, which has oodles of parking and is a super-nice space. After the lively discussion on Transforming Texas Libraries, you have your pick of these wonderful morning and afternoon breakout sessions. For the Library 2.0ers, we've got Gaming in the Library and using Camtasia to create online tutorials. For those of you looking for $$$ in these uncertain financial times, we have grant coordinators to share the secrets of winning grants. And the Texas Reads Program -- get great ideas from grant-funded projects. What if you want to make your money work its hardest? Plan right with High Impact Programs. Looking for partners to envision your library's future? Look no further than your staff -- find out ways to include their perspective for the benefit of all.
