Greetings! 



YALSA opened housing requests and listed its registration rates for the 
inaugural Young Adult Literature Symposium, Nov. 7-9 at the Millennium 
Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville, Tenn. Registration opens May 1, with 
special early bird pricing available until Sept. 1 and advance 
registration from Sept. 2 to Oct. 3. 
The symposium, funded in part by the William C. Morris Endowment, will 
take place biennially beginning this year. The 2008 theme is "How We 
Read Now." It will begin with a preconference focusing on illustrated 
materials for teens, including comic books, graphic novels, graphic 
nonfiction, manga and anime. Programs at the symposium will showcase a 
wide variety of topics within young adult literature and librarianship. 

Hotel rooms for the symposium will cost $119 and can be reserved by 
phone, fax or online. Early bird registration costs $195 for YALSA 
members, as well as members of the Tennessee Library Association and the 
Tennesee Association of School Librarians; $245 for ALA personal 
members; $300 for nonmembers; and $50 for students, who must be enrolled 
full-time in a library and information science program. Registrants can 
attend the preconference for an additional $75.
