Today was my first day at the ALA Midwinter Conference. I was really lucky, and serendipitiously met up with old friends from grad school and the New York library scene. (Hey friends! I hope you'll make it to the blog over the next week.) I haven't seen
Fuse yet, but I am hoping she can tear herself away from the task of judging the next Newbery award and attend the School Library Journal cocktail party tomorrow night.
In the meantime, I scored a lot of library-related
swag: pens, posters, pins that light up, tote-bags, and even a few non-traditional items like a scented candle, a manicuring set, and a real faux-gold frog lapel pin. My favorite item thus far was
not free. I bought a Banned-Book bracelet at one of the booths:

OOOOOHHH! I've seen those bracelets online before and have seriusly considered buying one for myself and one for the LSG. COOL!
Band books - you mean like "The Story of The Eagles" or "The Band - A History"? I never thought library professionals could be so materialistic and fun-seeking - wild drunken orgies in the hotels booked by the ALA and late night debates about the intricacies of the Dewey System.
