That's the two-day advocacy education event developed by the Public Library Association with funding from the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation. This trip is a chance for me to observe the program and meet the facilitators. I've heard that <em>Turning the Page</em> is a great program and I look forward to seeing it in action.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/groups/admin" class="og_links">Admin Group</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.plaspace.org/dawson/blog/first_day_of_fall">read more</a></p> http://www.plaspace.org/dawson/blog/first_day_of_fall#comments dawsonblog PLA Staff Admin Group Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:51:53 -0400 Doug Dawson 329 at http://www.plaspace.org http://www.plaspace.org/node/290 <p>Today marks another milestone in the rollout of PLAspace.
