Fall Collaboration Days are almost here—and we couldn’t be more excited!

PSLA is thrilled to offer FREE in‑person professional development this October as an exclusive benefit for our members. We’re bringing learning, connection, and inspiration across the state with five locations and two dates—October 17 and October 24.
Each site will feature its own unique focus, but all sessions will center on what matters most: school librarianship, community, and the power of shared expertise. Whether you’re looking to spark new ideas, collaborate with colleagues, or simply recharge your professional energy, Fall Collaboration Days are designed for you.

These sessions are available to PSLA members only, and registration is now open.
