Thank yous, notes, and a couple of photos

Hello all,

Thanks to all who attended, shared, laughed, and learned at nErDcamp Bellingham. We were a small group this year, but still overflowing with knowledge, expertise, and nerdiness.

Here is a shared document of notes and links. We have added a section at the end for attendees to add their social media or emails. Please feel free to add your info, and even contribute any notes or thoughts from sessions that you’d like to share.

Thanks to our author and illustrator guests for sharing the day with us, and for bringing copies of their books to give away.

Thanks to our man Dan and his provisions partner, Stephanie, for loading us up with donated snacks from Great Harvest Bread Co., Otherlands Bagel, Woods Coffee, and Haggen.

Thanks to Darilyn for sharing the Whatcom Middle School Library with us.

Thanks to Lisa for procuring swag donations from Village Books, and to Nancy for donating a few boxes, as well.

Thanks to Bellingham Public Schools for providing clock hours and our required custodian.

Thanks to all our attendees for making nErDcamp what it is. We love you!

We’ll see you next year!

Each year, we are honored to have authors and illustrators among our attendees. In a youth-literacy-focused event, it makes sense to have the creators of the lit! Over the course of the next few weeks, we’ll highlight some of these special guests.

Save the Date! March 22, 2025

Hello you happy nerds. As you may or may not have heard, the WWU Children’s Literature Conference is on hiatus for 2025 (and probably won’t be “WWU” in the future). However, nErDcamp forges on!

We are leaving the dead of winter for 2025. Please save the date for Saturday, March 22, 2025. More details to come, soon!

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who helped make nErDcamp successful for another year. If you have shared docs of notes or thoughts from sessions or great photos, send them to Adam and he can post here.
