Keeping Up With Kids

Later this week, look for some insight gleaned from great sessions I attended at the Wisconsin Library Association Conference (it was great to see many of you there!).

See some great analysis by Paul Nelson here.

And if you still feel queasy about using e-readers and want some hands-on practice, sign up for one of three sessions coming up next week!
