International School Library Month -- October 2008. The theme is: Literacy and Learning at Your School Library
You will be housed in the Clark Kerr Conference facility. In the residence halls, bedrooms do not have private bathrooms. Instead, each floor has one central bathroom with private toilets, shower stalls and wash basins. Each bathroom is designated a single gender bathroom. In the suites, two bedrooms share a bathroom. When you choose single occupancy it means you will have the room to yourself. if you choose double occupancy, you will share the bedroom with your roommate.
All rooms have two single beds. Beds are made prior to arrival with bed linen, towels, face cloth and a bar of soap. Beds are made, rooms cleaned and towels changed daily.
Please bring an alarm clock as there are no wake-up calls provided. Rooms do have telephones and local call dialing service (12-mile radius) at no charge. Long distance calls must be charged to calling cards or major credit cards.
All prices are in US Dollars.
Booking for accommodation will be available on the registration form.
