REFORMA @ ALA 2010 Annual Conference in Washington DC

Dear colleagues:

As part of my Presidential initiatives, I’ve been in communication with library associations to present programs during the ALA Annual Conference in Washington DC in June 2010. As a result, REFORMA is presenting the following programs:

REFORMA & IFLA Latin American & Caribbean Standing Committee: “Library services in Latin America”
REFORMA & Public Library Association: “Advocacy and Social Networking: library services for all in the community”
REFORMA & ALA’s New Members Round Table: “New Professional Paradigm: Redefining the New Librarian”
REFORMA & SALALM: “Latinos, immigration issues and library services”

Consider submitting presentation proposals!

Together we can! REFORMA Building Community.
Best,

Loida Garcia-Febo,

REFORMA President
