About The PSLA Annual Conference |
The PSLA Annual Conference is the only statewide conference devoted to the needs and issues of school libraries in Pennsylvania. As such, it is the principal forum for professional learning, collaboration, and networking for Pennsylvania school librarians and library advocates.
Participants explore current trends and best practices, develop their leadership skills, and exchange ideas with colleagues, vendors, and state policymakers through a variety of workshops and sessions, an exhibit hall, hands-on demonstrations, and fantastic keynotes and author presentations. The conference also gives the PA school library community a venue for celebrating individual and group achievements and for setting future priorities for school library services in Pennsylvania. |
