ALSC National Institute

The ALSC National Institute is a two day learning opportunity focused solely on youth services librarianship. Smaller than an 91´«Ã½ Annual Conference, with approximately 300 attendees, the Institute is a great place to network with colleagues, attend practical child-focused programs, and meet the authors/illustrators you know and love. Institute is designed for front-line library staff, children's literature experts, education and library school faculty and other interested adults.
