Summer Summit 2024 Registration Application
It’s time to get ready for Summer Summit 2024! This year we are excited to welcome Donalyn Miller, the Book Whisperer, as our keynote speaker! For more information about the sessions on tap this year, please see the tentative agenda below.
We are trying something new this year: will will use an application process rather than a first come, first served registration. Applications from school librarians from Eastern Idaho and applications from librarians who have not attended Summer Summit before will be prioritized. Since registration for this even happens around spring break, we hope this create an opportunity for those that might be away when registration opens, for those that aren’t award of how quickly this event fills, and for our state’s new school librarians to attend. If you are not in one of the prioritized groups, please apply anyway. There are sixty spots available and there will be spots available after these priorities have been met.
Here are the details:
When: July 16-18, 2024
Where: The Waterfront (July 16 & 17) and Thunder Ridge High School (July 18), Idaho Falls.
