Banquet and Social

Make a point to join friends and colleagues for a relaxing evening of fine food and laughs for the main banquet as the cocktails start at 6:30 p.m. and the three course meal starting at 7:00 p.m. Following the three course meal, the Nova Scotia Library Association will recognize members of the association with the annual award presentation for LBANs Merit Award, the Norman Horrocks Award for Library Leadership and for the first time, the Emile Theriault Library and Information Technology Award. Also named at this time are the NSLA Award for School of Information Management and the NSLA Award for Library and Information Technology.

For your entertainment, authors Kris Woods and Pat Wilson will present their humorous take on library life with their informal talk, “Why I’d Rather be a Librarian Than a Writer” and facilitate the figures of literature costume contest. With a grand prize of two nights free accommodation at any Delta Hotel in Canada for the best costume, the competition should be interesting to say the least. In addition, some door prizes will awarded.

Following the banquet, members are invited to stroll down the hall to the Justamere Café for an informal social featuring the live music of Antigonish own, Mishra’s Dream, a gypsy - jazz quartet in the style of Django Reinhardt.
