Not sure what to say about today. I was kind of disappointed in the sessions I attended today. Either they really only applied to big library systems, or they didn't offer anything new. I really wish they would do more sessions directed at small libraries. Our problems and challenges, as well as the resources available to us, are often quite different from big libraries.
A special treat, however, was the luncheon with Louise Erdrich as the speaker. It was fun to have lunch with a group of librarians from all over the US - Hawaii even. And, Louise Erdrich is just as good a storyteller when she speaks as when she writes.
I spent a fair amount of time in the Exhibition Hall today. Publishers were selling their books for $10.00 for hardcovers, $5.00 for paperbacks. As I perused the shelves I was shocked to see many books I just ordered. Oh well, who knew what would be there for sale.
That's all for now...
