ALA Midwinter 2009 – Denver, Colorado

Jump to Comments

It’s like spring here … I went out for a walk this morning and it was 50 degrees and climbing.  No snow.  I’ve kept my hat, scarf and mittens in my suitcase.

Here are some of today’s highlights (for me) at this ALA Midwinter Meeting …

Friday – 1/23/09

9:30am-4:30pm – American Association of School Librarians Advocacy Institute – where I hope to learn how to promote the value of school libraries

5:30-7:30pm – Exhibit Hall opens and there will be a special reception with Ann Brashares (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series) who will be at the Random House booth.  I will try to gat back there tomorrow when they will be giving away copies of her new book, 3 Williows: The Sisterhood Grows.

8:00-10:00pm – YALSA Mixer and Tech Playground, where I hope to try my hand (again!) at some of the new technologies.

I’ll post again tonight.
