Hi, me again. I’m writing this as of 10:33 PM, Wednesday, 6/27/07. In the morning we went to the Coretta Scott King Awards. Among the winners were such books as Copper Sun, Jazz, and Moses: How Harriet Tubman Led her People to Freedom. Afterwards we visited the exhibit hall one last time, managing a final few souvenirs and left for Library Day On The Hill, the final event for ALA in 100+ degree temperature. We took a bus to Capitol Hill to visit our state representatives about libraries. Our group visited Tom Allen and Mike Michaud and then got ice cream and set off to the others.
Kayla had the idea to make posters to protest the Supreme Court’s decision to suspend students’ rights to free speech, and march along the outside of the Court Building.
We then set off to visit Susan Collins, and Olympia Snowe. And then in the heat decided to take a taxi back to our hotel. Most of us (except me!) were so tired they slept from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. After they woke up, we ordered pizza, and I conked out on my and Kelley’s shared bed.
