Anyone else going to ALA? #ala

I'll be in New Orleans Thursday evening through Tuesday afternoon, but only at the conference Friday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon. Excited! I'll try to still get on Litsy, but I might get behind in my buddy Reads. Thinking about reading ahead.

@Chelleo You'll be there, right?

Chelleo @everlocalwest @KatDowney and @nomadreader will be too! 6y

Chelleo I‘m there Thu-Sun (I leave early Sun). Was trying to see if we could do a #Litsymeetup late Fri (7:30p or later) or for an early breakfast on Sat (7/7:30 am). (edited) 6y

Chelleo We could also meet at the Exhibits Hall if that works. I‘ll be there for the opening. 6y

My children's #bookhaul from #BookCon. The Ivy and Bean book was a free giveaway!

I'm thrilled by the diversity of the babies in the illustrations in Baby Rise and Shine.

Reviewsbylola Nice! 6y

robinb I‘m just slightly jealous right now. đź‰đź‰ 6y

tpixie I just learned the Ivy and Bean author is the niece of the author and helped her finish / final edit the book when she got sick!

ScientistSam @tpixie really? That's incredible! Thanks for sharing đź 6y

ScientistSam @robinb I'm hoping some kids in my life will be very happy đź 6y

tpixie @ScientistSam I just finished the book for June 24th's #LitsyBookClub - and there were a couple of authors‘ notes at the end explaining it!! I wish I had my original copy that I read when the book 1st came out. I‘m not certain if Annie‘s name was mentioned in the first edition or not 6y

readinginthedark Oh nice! Ivy + Bean is so fun! 6y

robinb @ScientistSam No doubt about it! đźŠ 6y

Nothing like ginormous banners of books to get one excited about #BOOKCON!

LibrarianRyan I've always wondered what they do with those banners at the end of the day 6y

ScientistSam @LibrarianRyan that's a great question! I didn't even think about it. Recycling? Wall hangings in someone's apartment? Capes for superheroes? 6y

CoverToCoverGirl I vote for capes for superheros! đź‚đźŠ 6y

LibrarianRyan I think it could make awesome wallpaper. They are not paper. They are a heavier material. Sometimes fabric sometimes banner material which is usually a type of vinyl 6y

emtobiasz @LibrarianRyan one of my old bosses recycled vinyl signs into tote bags. I have one with Orphan Train, our library‘s One Book One Community selection that year:

Orphan Train: A Novel

LibrarianRyan @emtobiasz that is a cool idea!! 6y

ScientistSam @emtobiasz @LibrarianRyan that's an awesome idea! 6y

tpixie @emtobiasz awesomeness!! 6y

It was a lot of fun to do a mini-bracket with PBS Great American Reads selections. #BookCon

VioletBramble I was there. Yay for Harry Potter. Can't wait to see what book wins in the end. Also, I really want to read Moby Dick now. 6y

ScientistSam @VioletBramble I know, I'm tempted to pick up Moby Dick and try again đź I bailed halfway through when I tried before. 6y

The Nanowrimo panel was one of the best panels of the day! Super inspiring to hear how these authors write: Susan Dennard, Marissa Meyer, Kami Garcia, Danielle Paige, and moderator Grant Faulkner.

@mrbook @Beachesnbooks

ScientistSam @rather_be_reading @RaimeyGallant @GripLitGrl it certainly was awesome! Rather thought-provoking discussion of cyber terrorism 6y

Looking forward to seeing people at #BookCon! I can't go to #BEA but know a lot of Littens will be going, so maybe we can do a #litsymeetup or two?

ScientistSam @mrozzz I'll be there Sunday so I'll miss you đźž I'm local, though, so I'm hoping there may be some meet-ups for the folks coming to BEA that I could go to after work to meet people. 6y

mrozzz That‘s so cool! Enjoy đź„ 6y

ScientistSam @mrozzz are you local? Would you be interested in a Little Meetup Wednesday or Thursday? (Probably Thursday.) 6y

ScientistSam @NCNY @swishandflick @Kaylamburson would any of you be up for a Litsy Meetup either Wednesday or Thursday after work (but probably Thursday from what I'm hearing on Slack)? 6y

NCNY @ScientistSam I can't on Thursday but if it ends up being on Wednesday, let me know. Have fun at bookcon! 6y

mrozzz I work in Manhattan! So possibly, but more likely Thursday âşď¸Ź 6y

ScientistSam @NCNY sorry it turned out to be tomorrow. Hope we can meet up another time! 6y

NCNY @ScientistSam Hope you all have fun at the meetup! 6y

So, I'm at a PALA conference today đźđź‘ŹđźŹ»đź‘ŹđźŹ»đź‘ŹđźŹ»! Rooms full of librarians: my people!!! đź†đź‚đź‘ŹđźŹ»đź‘ŹđźŹ»đź‘ŹđźŹ»

My second Active Shooter Training. Ugh. đź©

Now, I'm at the FB class. đźŽđź‘ŚđźŹ»

#LitsyLovesLibraries

JosieG While I know it's necessary in today's society, it makes me sad that librarians also need training on how to deal with active shooter situations. đź” No place truly feels safe anymore when you really sit down and think about it, though I try really hard not to dwell on that and worry a lot. 6y

RaimeyGallant Fun! 6y

Pamwurtzler No yoga? 6y

MrBook @Pamwurtzler Yoga is for people more gifted in patience than me. đź† 6y

Herschelian For those of use who don‘t live in the USA, seeing â€śactive shooter trainingâ€ť seems totally surreal, it‘s a librarian conference FGsS. Whatever next. 6y

so-so

Funny at times, def entertaining and out there, at times just a little too off its rocker. It was surely a nice change of pace after the harshness of Half of a yellow sun though.

I need a little help from my fellow Littens. I need to find a book conference to attend. Preferably in the spring but late fall could work. I've been to RT, Bouchercon, and BookExpo in the past. Does anyone have suggestions for smaller cons that maybe aren't as well known?
