ASCLA 'Can't Miss' Events at Annual Conference
P
reconference: "Becoming a Dementia Friendly Library: Serving People
Living with Dementia in Your Community"
Within the next 10 years the number of
Americans living with dementia is expected
to rise to 7.1 million. Now is the time to
begin addressing the needs of this too often
forgotten population. Libraries should be at
the forefront of the Dementia Friendly initiative that is emerging across the country. This
preconference will provide both background
and tools for designing and implementing
library programs and services that will transform lives in your community.
Preconference: "Unconference: Accessibility and Education, and its implications
for Library Services"
As we mark the 25th Anniversary of the
ADA, it is critical to focus on making education as accessible as possible. I am advocating
a gathering that that will examine accessibility and education and its implications for library services. This will be an Unconference,
and thus be focused on building community
and helping each conference participant ask
questions while we move together toward
a more accessible future for their libraries.
Program: "SitStayRead: How dogs are
improving literacy skills and fostering a love
of learning"
SitStayRead is a nonprofit literacy
organization established in 2003 which
serves 80 classrooms in 16 of Chicago's
low-income public schools. Our program
connects children in 1st through 4th
Grades with trained literacy volunteers
and Certified Reading Assistance Dogs in
a curriculum that develops key literacy and
social-emotional skills.
President Sponsored Program: "Healthy
Aging @ Your Library: Connecting Older
Adults to Health Information"
Sponsored by the ASCLA President,
this session is designed to help library staff
