Instructional support professionals such as librarians, media specialists or instructional coaches throughout Colorado are invited to attend free of charge on Friday, February 1 accompanied by a teacher of their choice. Individuals such as public librarians, students and other education professionals may also attend, but will be asked to pay a $20 registration fee. Friday’s Librarian Day will be held in the King Center Concert Hall (KC 145) on downtown Denver’s Auraria Campus.
In addition to Friday’s Librarian Day for instructional teams, all Colorado educators are welcome to sign up for 1 or 2 half-day sessions on Saturday, February 2. Saturday’s sessions will take place on the Auraria Campus. Enrollment on Saturday is limited to room capacity. See the schedule for session topics.
