Hi Kim,

Sorry, but due to the fact that one of the State Library’s partners for this event had to reschedule their conference for the same date and same location as ours, we had to cancel the Early Literacy Symposium. We didn’t think we would get the number of attendees we needed.

We don’t have any plans right now to hold it in the future but if that changes, I’ll let you know.

Best ,
