I’m heading out on a bus today to Boston, where I’ll be attending the American Library Association’s Midwinter meeting. I’m going to try and have some posts go up while I’m there, but no promises, as I’m going to be fairly busy. There’s an all-day meeting tomorrow, several appointments, receptions, etc. I’ve been to ALA Annual twice before, but this will be my first midwinter. I’ve heard they’re sort of a different beast than the annual meetings, but we’ll see.
On my list? I’d love to attend the Newbery Award announcement in person. That would be a fun something to do, though I have no idea how many other people are going to be there. If it’s a huge, elbow to elbow affair, I’m not sure how much I’ll enjoy it. Anyone know?
In any case, if you’re going to be around Boston between now and Monday, and you’d like to get together, drop me a line. There are still a few holes in my schedule. When I’m not busy at panels or meetings, I’m going to be roaming the exhibitor space, looking for books for my kids.
Hope to see you there!
