The response has been phenomenal - rooms for Wednesday have been SOLD OUT so if you need to come in for Summer Institute the night before and don’t yet have a room, please get in touch with Susan Grigsby (see email below).  Also, if you HAVE a room on Wednesday night and are willing to share with a colleague, let me (Susan) know and we will do our best to coordinate some roommate situations!

Finally, one of our vendors is providing participants with a reception on Thursday evening!  This is the first time EVER and we’re excited to provide this meet-and-greet opportunity for Summer Institute participants.

Need another reason to sign up? Callaway Gardens is extending the special rate for anyone that wants to stay over on Friday night. Why not have your significant other drive up Friday afternoon and spend the evening watching the FSU Circus performance? Then you can spend a leisurely day in the Gardens on Saturday before heading home. Click here to register for Summer Institute NOW (the form is at the bottom of GLMA’s front page)!

We look forward to seeing you at the Summer Institute. If you have any questions, please contact Amanda or Kathryn in the Executive Office or the Summer Institute Coordinator, Susan Grigsby.

Dear Georgia Library Professionals!

GLMA’s Summer Institute 2011 has been scheduled for June 16 and 17, 2011 at beautiful Callaway Gardens! Rooms are being held at the Mountain Creek Inn for SI participants at last year’s rate of $99/night (single or double). This year’s theme is “Make it and Take it” and ALL participants will leave with lessons, programs, and products that can be used in the library/classroom.

Registration forms are not quite ready yet – we are in negotiations with Callaway to include breakfast in your conference fee. As soon as we have everything ironed out I will send out another email blast with everything you’ll need to register for Summer Institute. You can go ahead and reserve your room before officially registering if you’d like. I’m looking forward to an exciting conference in a lovely facility! Won’t you join me?
