Laredo ISD Library Director, Mely Paez, and our dedicated campus librarians engaged in insightful learning sessions at the Texas Librarian Association Annual Conference in San Antonio, Texas. They had the unique opportunity to attend a panel discussion by John Quinones, ABC News correspondent, and Maria Elena Salinas, Hispanic journalist for Noticiero Univision about their book "One Year in Uvalde."
The conference was also a hub for learning, connection, and inspiration. Paez and our campus librarians engaged in insightful learning sessions, mingled with various authors, and networked with fellow Texas librarians. They exchanged innovative teaching ideas, fostering a collaborative environment that will ultimately enrich our library programs. It's fantastic to see our librarians leading the way and embracing new opportunities! #lisdistheplacetobe #lisdleadingtheway
