On Friday night, January 7, 2011 at the San Diego Midwinter Meeting, you have the opportunity to bid on several professional packages that can help you be a better librarian and your library provide good service to teens and other customers.
Do you consider yourself to be Odd? Do you appreciate the funny, the grotesque, bizarre, yet thoughtful? Then, you will definitely want to bid on the Skype visit from the Author of, Order of Odd-Fish, James Kennedy. http://jameskennedy.com/about/Teachers and librarians across the country have said his visit to their libraries and classrooms was hysterical, engaging and interactive. Teens couldn’t stop laughing. Teachers can’t wait to have him visit again. Don’t miss your chance to bid on the Skype visit from James Kennedy at YALSA’S Not So Silent Auction. Friday January 7, 2011. This prize is worth $ 500.00.
Take a look at YALSA’s wiki to see all the items up for bid.
Some YALSA-ers might remember I won the Newbery back in 2009, when I stripped it from Neil Gaiman at the YALSA preconference in a series of grueling trials.
How often do you have a chance to get a Newbery award winner Skype visit?! Put on your bidding hats, this will get raucous.
