I’ll be at PLA this week

If you are attending the PLA Conference in Columbus this week, I’ll be presenting at the “How To” stage with Dr. Margaret Ann Paauw, LCSW. Based on our research*, we’ll be sharing ways that public librarians can successfully supervise social work student interns at their branches. Come see us! 10:30 AM, Friday April 5th, How To Stage.
