Dear BAISL members,
Happy New Year! You may be interested in attending this event. Sarah spoke
at the AISL conference Debra & I hosted several years ago, and she's
brilliant!
Please join us at *The Annual BayNet-SLA-SF Joint Meeting
<http://baynetlibs.org/2015/01/04/event-baynet-sla-joint-meeting-featuring-sarah-houghton-librarian-in-black-jan-29-530pm/>*
for
an evening with *Sarah Houghton,*Director of the San Rafael Public Library

CSUEB Oakland Center
1000 Broadway #109
Oakland, CA 94607
*What:*
Sarah will share her thoughts in a presentation *“The Wrong Love: Why We
Need to Stop Telling People to Love Libraries”* discussing how much of
library marketing across the world is focused on reminding people that they
love libraries, or soliciting them to say outright that they love their
libraries and their librarians. Sarah believes that we are having the wrong
conversation. The conversation we should be having is how much “we in
libraries love our communities.”

is a big technology nerd and believes in the power of libraries to change
lives. Combined, they make a fearsome cocktail. Sarah is a frequent speaker
for online and realspace worldwide events for libraries and other
institutions. Sarah has been called an iconoclast, a contrarian, a
future-pusher, and a general pain in the ass. She takes great pride in each.

"You don't have to care about books to love school libraries.
You don't have to give a ding-dang about funny stories, true stories, or the
world beyond your home to think they matter.
You don't even have to love that school libraries are both a refuge
and gateway to discovery.
All you need to care about are the kids they serve.
School libraries are as important as the children who need them."
Author/Illustrator Mo Willems.
