On Friday morning, May 6, VALF is sponsoring a poster session on Mixing in Math and a program on serving immigrants and non-English speakers.
The literacy conference is at Lake Mary, just north of Orlando, and the library conference is at the Doubletree Hotel at the entrance to Universal Studios, south of downtown Orlando. More about the programs and conferences is below.
