Past Presidents’ Reception (no cost to attend)
Thursday, May 31st, 2001
8:00 - 11:00 pm 

Conference attendees are invited to “converge” for the Past Presidents’ Reception. This reception honours all past presidents of our Association. At this year's reception, Past President Peter Webster will be recognized at  the end of his three-year term on the APLA Executive, as President Pamela Stevens-Earle awards him the Past President's pin. This reception provides a wonderful opportunity for all of us to see each other before the  conference officially begins.

Merit Award Banquet and Dance
Saturday, June 2nd
7:00 pm
(tickets are $38.00 each)

This year’s Merit Award banquet will feature dinner speaker Roch Carrier, National Librarian of Canada. In his presentation, the National Librarian will provide his views on the future direction of the National Library of Canada as well as reviewing where it has been. He will stress the importance of connectivity, access to information for all Canadians, and the importance for libraries to be leaders in information technology. 

After the banquet, we will be entertained by Island group Celtic Tide. Composed of five first cousins, Celtic Tide come by their talent naturally. They are fourth generation musicians, part of the Chaisson Dynasty of fiddle players on Prince Edward Island. Though they stick pretty close to their roots, featuring traditional tunes and original music in the same style, the addition of drums and guitars gives the band a contemporary rock sound. They released the album Kindle in the fall of 2000. The band was nominated for the New Artist/Group of the Year award at the 2001 East Coast Music Awards. Be sure to visit their website at http://www.celtictide.com/ and get a preview of their music. 

Brunch
Sunday, June 3rd
11:00 am - 12:30 pm 
(tickets are $15.00 each)

After Sunday’s OGM, be sure to come to the brunch. You (and we!) will be able to relax at last, as the conference will be over, and a hearty meal will ensure that you are well-fed before you leave for home.
