Got some amazing, great, wicked cool news yesterday. Art Slade, who won the Governor General's Award for Children's Literature for his novel, Dust in 2001, will be coming to FIMS on Monday October 23 to speak as part of the Lunch Bucket Speaker Series!
A few details have to be ironed out yet but the date is now confirmed. Yay!!!
In addition to being an excellent writer, Art is a great guy and very entertaining speaker. Whether you're interested in children's literature or not, you should plan to come out to this event. It'll be amazing.

July 19 is shaping up to be the busiest day of the year for those of us who enjoy the extracurricular activities that library school offers.
Noon - 1pm (NCB 293) - Lunch Bucket Speaker Series with Jean McKay, author & creative writing instructor and Corey Redekop, soon-to-be-published FIMS student. Whether you're a closet writer or not, come out and learn about the writing process and what it takes to get published. 4:30 - 5:30pm (NCB 293) CLA Student Chapter Presents...Cabot Yu Are you interested in working for the Government of Canada? Not sure what GoC BBB and LS mean? Then on July 19th from 4:30-5:30p.m. in Rm. 293, join us for an informal discussion with Cabot Yu about how to find and apply for library jobs in the federal government. Also, find out how to use your coop experience to your advantage in landing a job. Cabot Yu (MLIS '99) works as an Electronic Information Specialist at Citizenship and Immigration Canada. He is also on the executive of the Council of Federal Libraries' Priorities and Planning Committee and of CASLIS Ottawa. (Personal note: Cabot is a really wicked guy who is super-active in the Ottawa area and is sure to have lots of good things to say. Super-active? Is that like radioactive? Because he's that too!) 5:30 - 7:30pm (NCB 114) Student Film Series Quinn Dupont will be hosting a free screening of a film which is connected to libraries and library-related issues. This month's film will be "The Motorcycle Diaries". As I think I said somewhere else, come out for this. It will make you a better librarian (or your money back!) |
