PLA Committee Meeting
January 26th, 2007 by Anne RobertI’m a little slow with posting about the Sunday meeting of PLA committees, but it takes awhile to get used to the three-hour time difference/jet lag.
I’m on the PLA Services to Preschool Children and Their Caregivers Committee, and we met Sunday to discuss our plans for upcoming conferences and the like. We will be having an excellent program at ALA Annual in Washington, D.C. titled “Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tales: Every BOY Ready to Read @ your Library”.
Dr. Leonard Sax, author of Why Gender Matters, will be presenting the latest research on the male brain, how this research may change the way librarians do story times for boys and how this research can be communicated to parents and caregivers. Dr. Sax will present and there will be a question/answer forum.
As any children’s librarian out there can tell you - there is definitely a difference in the behavior of little boys and girls during storytime! This looks to be an great program and I hope y’all can make it!
