They heard keynote addresses from author J.R. Jamison and library advocate Mychal Threets plus featured speaker and ed tech trainer Matt Miller. Mrs. Kern assisted in planning the awards luncheon which honored the work of fellow librarians, and Ms. Smith moderated an author panel. In addition, they spent time with WCHS Alum Annaliese Hoffmeyer (18).
