The 2010 ONEBOOKAZ adult title is The Trunk Murderess: Winnie Ruth Judd by Jana Bommersbach, and the 2010 ONEBOOKAZ for Kids title is The Three Little Javelinas / Los Tres Pequenos Jabalies by Susan Lowell.

Learn how to use the books in programming and instruction at your library by attending this workshop! Renee Simms will present her Readers Guide for The Trunk Murderess. Ann Ewbank, the ASU Young Writers Program, and the Arizona Geographic Alliance will also present The Three Little Javelinas curricula they created for grades K-12.

Ideas will be shared for ways to implement reading programs that support the statewide outcomes for summer reading that as a result of participation in a summer reading program 1) Participants discover that reading can be fun and 2) Participants have a good time through activities and services provided or sponsored by the library.

The morning will be devoted to Evanced Summer Reader training and discussion of the online component of summer reading.  After lunch, local facilitators will lead discussion of appropriate ways to reward reading; outreach and promotion; and program ideas for all ages - babies, children, teens, adults, and families.

As leaders, it's easy to go missing in action. We're in the building, but is our leadership presence making an everyday difference? The best leaders lead with full engagement and inspire others to work with the same passion. It sounds good--a "no brainer" really. But, there are obstacles to overcome if we are to leadwell. Join nationally acclaimed speaker, author and leadership coach, Dr. David Fleming, as he explores with us four leadership practices that make the difference between surviving the day and changing the world (or at least your corner of the world). Since you're going to lead anyway, you might as well lead well.

Bio: Dr. Dave Fleming speaks to and coaches leaders across the country, helping them live and leadwell. Dave holds a Master's in counseling/education and a Doctor of management in organizational leadership. He is currently pursuing his second Ph.D. in human and organizational development from the Feilding University because he has no life and enjoys debt.
