Another wonderful reason to attend is that the conference will be held in the brand new School of Education at The College of William & Mary. This state-of-the-art building is just a pleasure to be in and the new Professional Development Center where the conference will be held was built as part of the building.

Additionally, the city of Williamsburg where The College of William & Mary is located, is just beautiful in the fall. Consider visiting Colonial Williamsburg, only a few short blocks away from the School of Education, after the conference.

Any way you look at it, The Joy of Children's Literature Conference on October 15th is the place to be! Enjoy a day full of joyful learning, connecting, and collaborating around children's literature and then an afternoon and evening of fall fun in Colonial Williamsburg.
