[ISLMA-Share] Student Led conference at HS

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We have learner-led conferences at the middle school where the students and
parents both attend.  Our conferences run for three half days. While it is
going on, I oversee a book fair.  We set it up in the cafeteria, which is
right in the middle of the school, so everyone has a chance to browse. Have
had good success with it.
