Steve Helm , Webmaster, thanked Linda Farynk for making the VLA web server available at Radford University. The next Council meeting will be held at the Central Library in Charlottesville on April 3. Will Manley, author of eight humorous books dealing with library-related topics, will be the featured speaker. Gene Kinnaly, who is active in a variety of professional organizations, including VLA, COLT, and SELA, and who has had articles featured in The Associates and Library Mosaics , will be the Tuesday morning keynote speaker. Conference attendees will have the option of selecting from twenty-four unique workshops that encompass a variety of specialized topics.
Workshops dealing with computer technologies are always in demand and several are offered.
Sherrie Waddill s storytelling session was such a big hit last year that she will return to share her creative storytelling ideas. Topical roundtables will be held after lunch on Monday, and they will focus on specialized topics that affect our library environments. This will be a time for people with common interests to network and discuss a library-related issue. An option for those who are not interested in attending a roundtable will be a tour of one of the University of Richmond libraries. There are special events planned during the conference.
