I just returned from my first ever ALA Mid-Winter Conference. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend attendance to anyone in the library field. My husband went with me and he had a great time as well. The exhibits offer enough interesting things for people with a variety of interests. I was especially excited about the opportunity to attend the awards announcement press conference for the young adult awards, Newbery, Caldecott and several others. I have seen the seals for these awards for years, watch for the list as it appears on the internet and this year I was there when the announcements were made. Great fun.
