To register for the 2020 NCSLMA conference, go to the NCSLMA website and click on the Events tab. Since our conference will be completely virtual this year, here are some things you can expect:
Private Facebook group for attendees. Live keynote sessions, author sessions, awards, and door prizes will be hosted in this group.
Exclusive access to pre-recorded videos for one year through a private page on our NCSLMA website.
Live sessions through Google Meet for each level of Battle of the Books.
In this interactive role-playing board game styled presentation, participants will “roll” to learn about common racial tropes, stereotypes, and biases found in popular speculative genres. Participants will “battle” the various types of damaging portrayals by learning critical evaluation questions and will discover a treasure trove of review resources for use in finding authentic diverse materials. This presentation responds to the call for more critical evaluation of popular media and speaks to how we can curate libraries to be more representative and inclusive.
