Guest post by the WRSLAI committee

The Western Regional Section of the LAI is holding its annual seminar on Monday, 27th June 2016, 9.30am-4.30pm. Venue in Galway TBC. The seminar theme is ‘Literacy for Life’. This seminar is an annual training day, attended by library professionals from all disciplines. Details of previous seminars can be found on our blog wrslai.wordpress.com/2015/11/05/wrslai-seminar-2015-slides-and-presentations/

Proposals should keep the theme of literacy for life in mind and we are also interested in any connections to 1916, given the Centenary celebrations.
Possible areas of interest are:
*Literacy- children’s books, adult education, literacy innovations & associations
*Online literacy and the library
*1916- Easter widows, library involvement, local memories, what was happening in the west? Examples of 1916 library exhibitions are encouraged.
*Library environment and its impact
*Library services

We are open to varied proposals, but those with a strong link to the theme will be given first choice.
