Vendors, Sponsors and Donations!

The School Library Media Specialists of Southeastern New York invite you to exhibit at the SSL/NYLA

Annual Spring Conference. SSL is the school library section of the New York Library Association.

Membership includes school library media specialists serving at the elementary, middle and high school

levels, school library system directors, supervisors of librarians, and other interested school employees.

The theme for the conference is “Strengthening Our IMPACT.” SSL has planned some very special

attractions to bring you and your customers together. Scheduled breaks and exclusive vendor time will

provide numerous opportunities for attendees to browse through the vendor area.

Through exhibiting at our conference you will receive a directory listing in the official conference book; a

listing in the SissLer, SSL official quarterly newsletter; an opportunity to advertise in the conference

program and an opportunity to sponsor a special activity or event.

SPONSORSHIP:

Please take the time to consider underwriting a special activity or event for SSL conference attendees,

such as the exhibit grand opening reception on Thursday April 30, 2015 at 5:30 pm, breakfast with the

vendors at 7:30 am on Friday, May 1, 2015 or coffee breaks during exclusive vendor time throughout the

conference. A sponsorship affords an excellent opportunity for a business to place its name in full view of

all those attending the conference. Remember that the SSL membership is very grateful to supporting

vendors.
