The Librarians of SAS Pudong would like to thank all the organizers of the Fall 2011 SLN Symposium for the great work they did to make this last weekend event memorable.  The Western International School of Shanghai (WISS) (http://www.wiss.cn/) played host this year.  The Symposium brought together nearly 65 Librarians and Librarian Assistants from Shanghai and the Asia region.  The Symposium began Friday (Nov 5th) evening with a supper buffet and the Deli Darbar in Puxi and ended Sunday noon with a visit to the SAS Puxi Elementary and Secondary Libraries and the Rainbow Bridge International School Library (http://www.rbischina.org/).  In between, on Saturday, WISS and the Symposium presenters provided a series of “takeaway” learning-sharing sessions.  Saturday ended with a “no holds barred” game show contest that pitted library teams against each other as they worked to “locate that obscure bit of knowledge”.  Representatives from Follett Publishing, Jennifer Neslon, LLC, and Childroad Inc were present as sponsors/venders.  The presenters are working to upload their presentations to the SNL wiki (http://schoollibrarysymposium.wikispaces.com/) so if you are interested in the session topics be sure to check in.

Again a big thanks to the organizers and both old friends met and new friends made.  TSB 11/6/11
