TL8-3Larry The Teaching Librarian Volume 8/No. 3 13 MAKING WAVES Where might you find mimes, computerlabs, baked Alaska, librarians in tuxe-dos and top hats, e-books, wine and cheese tasting, jugglers, award-winners, great food, the Governor General, media coverage, reading experts, buskers, old friends, new friends, and a lot of history all in one place? If you were at Super Conference in February cel- ebrating the OLA's 100th Anniversary, you already know the answer to the question. If you weren't there, you missed a fabulous event! From Stephen Abram at the opening breakfast launching the "@ your library" brand, through to the thrills and ceremony provided by the Governor General, to the reading research experts Keith Curry Lance and Stephen Krashen and the dozens of practical workshops and hands-on sessions, to the bigger-than-ever exhib- it, to OSLA's award winners and the Saunders- sponsored cocktail party, to the Silver Birch/Red Maple breakfast and the Celebration of the Decades in the CBC Atrium - the conference buzzed and hummed with the energy of it all. A three-day delight for the mind and senses! The following pages give a taste of what the plan- ners created and of the extraordinary people who shared how they make waves. Accolades go to TDSB's Rose Dodgson and OCDSB's Linsey Hammond for the extraordinary school program at this stunning 2001 Super Conference! Theirs was an achievement worthy of this great histori- cal occasion! n n n OLAOLA's 100th's 100th AnnivAnniversarersaryy Super ConfSuper Conferenceerence PPEOPLEEOPLE MMAKINGAKING WWAAVESVES The Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson arrives escorted by National Librarian Roch Carrier.
