Conference Attendees:
The conference theme, “Libraries: A North Carolina Value:
Enriching, Inclusive, Essential”, reflects the 2003 Biennium Conference
Planning Committee’s attempt to proclaim the profession’s value to the
populace of the state. Noting the need for explication, three words were
selected to emphasize the benefit libraries bring to the common good.
Resources in libraries can enrich lives through literary discovery and
information exploration. An outreach that is inclusive of all populations
serves to attentively meet the needs of all users and non-users of the
library. Finally, as citizens uncover the vast array of programs and
services, they ultimately realize how vital libraries can be in their lives.
It is imperative that those whom we serve recognize our
commitments and dispositions as related in the three dimensions defined
above. The Committee hopes that the conference offerings will provide
professionally rewarding learning opportunities and networking
experiences which can be valuable in delivering and ensuring preeminent
library services to our North Carolina populace.

BIOGRAPHIES
NCLA President
Ross Holt
A summer job after high school turned into a career in librarianship for NCLA President
Ross Holt. After graduating from Davidson College 1985, Ross served time beifly at two daily
newspapers before returning to his hometown of Asheboro. An attempt to volunteer at the
Randolph County Public Library turned into a temporary job, which mushroomed into a
permanent position, which snowballed into Head of Reference and systems administrator, and
the avalanche continues.
With the strong support of Library Director Richard Wells, Ross pursued and received
his Masters in Library and Information Studies at the University of North Carolina Greensboro
in 1994. With NCLA, he has chaired the Constitutions, Codes and Handbook Revision
Committee, founded and chaired the Development Committee and served as Director-At-Large, among other
duties.
Outside the library, Ross is accomplished with power tools and cameras. He designs and builds sets for
Asheboro’s RSVP Community Theatre (even acting occasionally when he just can’t resist); has hung four
showings of his photographs.

Rick Bragg is the author of the critically acclaimed and best selling, All
Over But the Shoutin’ and Ava’s Man. Both autobiographical tomes have

Rick Bragg says “he learned to tell stories by listening to the masters—the
people of the foothills of the Appalachians.” They talked of the sadness,
poverty, cruelty, kindness, hope, hopelessness, faith, anger, and joy of
everyday life by painting pictures on the very haze of the early evening, when work faded into
storytelling.” He was born in Alabama and worked for several newspapers before arriving at the New
York Times in 1994. Bragg covered the Oklahoma City bombing, the Jonesboro killings, the Susan
Smith trial, and the Elian Gonzalez story while a national correspondent in Atlanta. He was a roving
correspondent for The NY Times, based in New Orleans until his resignation in May 2003. He has
published a collection of his newspaper stories entitled, Somebody Told Me. He won the Pulitzer
Prize for Feature Writing in 1996.
