2008 Hotel Information

Please call the hotels directly to make a reservation. Be sure to indicate you are attending the Lesley University Literacy for All Conference to get these special rates. We strongly recommend you make your reservation early.

PLEASE NOTE: Hotel rates do not include sales tax, which is currently 12%-13%, or parking.

Keep Calling! If the hotels are full, keep calling! Sometimes participants, for various reasons, cancel reservations and rooms are re-released into our hotel block.

Unused Rooms: Please help us keep the cost of the conference down by releasing unused rooms before the cut-off date! The conference is charged a significant penalty for any rooms that are canceled or released after the cut-off date. Please be considerate of other participants by only booking the rooms you are going to use.
