Approaching Fast – FGS 2013 Conference

This is my one conference for the year and I’m looking forward to some wonderful educational opportunities, researching at the Allen County Public Library, and getting together with my colleagues and friends (and hopefully meet some new ones!) Below is some information I received today from the FGS conference chairs that I thought I’d pass along to my readers.
