As you may have heard, Southeastern, East Central, Northeast and North Central LSA offices have coordinated an exciting opportunity to travel in style and good company to the March 2008 PLA Conference in Minneapolis. There are two general routes planned, one to start in Burlington and the other in Ottumwa and work their way north along two routes. At this time no stops are guaranteed and we will be working with the bus company to determine the most efficient routes based on the home locations of our passengers. The buses will arrive in time for opening session on Wednesday, March 26 and return following the closing session on Saturday, March 29. Round trip fare will be $76.

Don’t miss this chance to relax, watch movies, and chat with fellow librarians on your way to Minneapolis! Registration must be no later than February 1 through the State Library CE catalog at http://www.statelibraryofiowa.org/cgi-bin/cecat/. Browse by date into March and you’ll see the bus trips listed at the bottom. Cancellations must also be received by that date to avoid being charged.

We anticipate that this will be a fairly popular trip, so please register as early as possible to be sure you have a seat and a convenient pick up location!
