Hi Everyone,

We still have plenty of space for librarians, library staff, and library school students to attend the STELLA Unconference, Friday the 8th and Saturday the 9th-- http://denver-stella.pbworks.com.

Below is the prelim schedule for Friday.  If you can make it one or both days, then please add your name to the attendee list -- http://denver-stella.pbworks.com/Attendee-List.  We have a great slate of topics, and an even better group of people attending.  There is no charge (with thanks to http://denver-stella.pbworks.com/Sponsors), and the lunch on Friday is free to the first 80 people on the attendee list.
