On April 11, 2019 Deb and Karlene attended the North Dakota Renewal and Development Conference in Bismarck. They had an opportunity to go to the Capital and visit with Larry Robinson from Valley City who was a former principal at Warwick. Kristin Baesler, Superintendent of Public Instruction, gave the conference attendees a warm welcome. Their driver to the Capital was Eric Stroshane who is the manager of library development at the North Dakota State Library. The conference had both public and school librarians attending from all across ND.
