The TLA District 8 Fall Conference is fast approaching. Always a good meeting.

This fall's conference, "Treasures of the Gulf Coast," will take place at Clear Brook High School in Clear Creek ISD on Saturday, October 30, 2010. The high school is located on FM 2351 in the edge of Friendswood, Texas off of I-45. Please mark your calendars now. More information will be forthcoming.

There are many of you out there doing great and brilliant things that you need to share with your peers. The application for program proposals will go out tomorrow. Please think about sharing some of the great things you do to make your library a "treasure" to your patrons and fill out a conference proposal form.

Applications for the vendor's exhibit area will also be up in the next week.

Submit proposals.
