ALA, part 2

Some 20,000 librarians, publishers and writers
descended on Anaheim, CA, 
for the annual American Library Association conference
June 21-26, 2012.

This was a crazy, good time to celebrate books
and to meet twitter/blog/facebook followers
and librarians
and colleagues

Such a week!
Such good folk!

Wish I had been able to take more photos

Away and Back


I've been away
in California
for the annual 
ALA (American Library Association) Conference.

Thousands of librarians gather
along with publishers and authors.
We all celebrate books.
Great energy.

What a fine, fine time. 

More to come
