Found Money?
Accreditation applications: A few weeks
ago I sat with a library director and Board President of a library that
has not filed an accreditation applications for several years. With
three minor physical plant modifications we were able to take the
library from non participation to fully accredited - net result circa
$1500 more in the budget.
With the NEW accreditation application have you carefully reviewed your
status? IF you wish help NEILSA staff will be happy to sit with you
and review the accreditation application in detail.

such companies as Walt Disney, Mattel, and MGA Entertainment. He is the author
of four books: The Pearl of
Anton, Creating Ever-Cool, The Blockbuster Toy, and A
Knight's Code of Business. He will
discuss, "Making the Library Cool for Kids," that will help participants
understand both the timeless emotional needs in children and the more timely
trends in their world. Gene Del Vecchio
will be doing a book signing after his
session.
On
Friday, keynote speakers will be Jean Gullickson, Children's Services Manager
and Debi Stephenson, Children's Programmer, from the Carnegie-Stout Public
Library (Dubuque). They will be presenting "Extreme Makeover @
Your Library: Wild and Eyecatching Promotionals." Want to spice up your surroundings? Make your library more inviting? Then join
