ALA in DC: Schedule for Gay Lesbian Bisexual Task Force Gary M Klein (bear-at-heart) 09 Feb 1997 21:22 UTC
Now that the GLBTF finally has its room schedules in place (don't ask what we went through this time), I can finally pass the schedule of events over to you. INCLUDING TWO ITEMS that are NOT included in the ALA conference guidebook! The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Taskforce (GLBTF) has been an offical arm of the American Library Association for over twenty-five years, and will be holding several business meetings & social events in Washington D.C. during ALA's Midwinter Meeting (February 14-18). YOU NEED NOT be a member of ALA or GLBTF to attend these events (the schedule is listed at the bottom). Please free to join this dynamic and fun group of librarians while attending the ALA conference. In addition to our various business/committee meetings, this will be our 9th year of sponsoring the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual READ ALOUD! You do not have to read anything out loud in order to join the Read Aloud audience, but participation is certainly welcome! If you want to volunteer to read at the READ ALOUD, or would like more information about these events or GLBTF in general, please e-mail directly: gklein@willamette.edu or phone me up at #503-370-6743. GLBTF will also be hosting its traditional Saturday evening social hour. Again, you need not be a member of GLBTF to meet the faces behind the e-mails at these events. I will be heading out of town to DC on Thursday morning 2/13, so if you have any questions, please contact me ASAP. If you need to contact me during the ALA conference, I will be staying at the Holiday Inn-Franklin.
