Dreaming 08 Alice Springs

I enjoyed the first day of Dreaming 08 after attending the cocktail party the night before. The trade exhibition was launched with a group of local school children drumming. They were Drum Atweme who are Town Camp kids between 7 and 13 years of age who perform around town under the tutelage of Peter Lowson who is the Youth Services Coordinator at Tangentyere Council




As usual the conference was a great opportunity to network and catch up with old and new colleagues.







It was good to meet people I had only communicated with via email or telephone.
Terence Harrison from Royal Melbourne was on such person

Also Ruth Sladek from Flinders University was another and I think we all appreciated her presentation and the work she has being doing.

I even met keynote speaker Loriene Roy from the USA, here in the middle with the Mayor of Alice Springs,Damien Ryan and the Executive Director of ALIA Sue Hutley

Jenny Paradiso , now with Ex Libris was another I caught up with.

A great librarians T-Shirt
