May 2015 News and Events

Business and Development Conference

March 10-11, 75 participants enjoyed the rich professional learning and networking we always associate with the SCSBC Business and Development Conference. Cedars Springs Christian Retreat Center in Sumas offered, as always, a pleasant backdrop for the important conversations that took place both in and out of scheduled sessions. It was our privilege to have Michael Van Pelt, President of Cardus, give the keynote presentation, then the group divided into two tracks to focus on either business or development workshops.

Library Specialists Day

The Library Specialists Day, held on April 10, brought together over 40 librarians and administrators. Highlighting thinking and possibilities around progressing libraries toward a “Learning Commons” model, participants considered strategies for enhancing opportunities for student learning within library spaces. The group heard from leaders in this field and began the dreaming process for what adoption might look like in their
local schools.
