Registration is now open for the College and Career Ready Summit: Moving Idaho Forward, August 16–17, 2012 in Boise. This summit will facilitate discussion and next-steps planning with other community partners to address the student dropout rate in Idaho and ensure that more students are college and career ready.

Each type of Idaho library plays various roles to support student learning and help students build 21st century skills of information, communication, and technology literacy. As Idaho educators look to online learning, digital literacy and computer/Internet access for students become even more critical.

The event is sponsored by the Idaho Commission for Libraries. See libraries.idaho.gov/collegeandcareerready for the agenda, a link to registration, and travel reimbursement information. At this time, attendance is limited to two per library or organization.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Stephanie Bailey-White at Stephanie.Bailey-White@libraries.idaho.gov.

Hope to see you there!
