Empowering Oregon Students by Supporting School LibrariesCertified and classified library staff, as well as anyone interested in learning about the latest developments in school libraries, we hope you can join us for our annual fall conference, held in early October. The conference is a one-day event featuring engaging speakers and authors, as well as vendors and exhibitors, with sessions that promise to leave attendees with new knowledge to implement in their library practices. The Legendary Library Tour is quickly becoming a tradition. Join us on the Friday before the conference for a tour of local school libraries in the area where the conference is being held. Questions? Contact the OASL President.
