Join School Library Journal for an "Evening of Dialog" on April 4 from 5:30pm to 8pm. Hosted by Shauntee Burns, Director, Youth & Family Services at DC Public Libraries will chat with authors about their books, writing process, and more. Signings will follow, with plenty of opportunities for attendees to meet and greet the authors and grab their latest advanced reading copies/galleys. This is a free event for library professionals with space available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Our annual flagship event, the SLJ Summit will be held over three days on December 1-3, 2023, in Atlanta, Georgia. This year's theme "A Vision for the Future."

In libraries large and small, a strong approach to youth services fuels a first, fundamental relationship that can be lifelong. A strong strategy prioritizes early development around multiple literacies, connections that support and complement school curricula, and programming and collections that inspire independent reading, thinking, and creation.

Join us November 4-6—live and in person—for the 2022 SLJ Summit: “Advocacy in Action.” 

Convening in Minneapolis, MN, the Summit will assemble school library leaders and community stakeholders to consider the challenges and opportunities surrounding top issues, from intellectual freedom and student mental health to the American Rescue Plan, the largest one-time federal investment in education.

Come join SLJ and Kiera Parrott, SLJ/LJ reviews director, for cocktails, light refreshments, and great conversation with nine notable authors and illustrators of forthcoming titles for young readers. Meet the authors and grab their latest advanced reading copies/galleys.
