That's right, friends, it's the best time of the year in a Librarian's life! Aside from summer vacation, that is.
It's time for...
TLA CONFERENCE!
Last year, I attended my first TLA conference, which was held in Ft. Worth. This year, I get to feel fancy and fly to San Antonio for exciting workshops, speakers, author talks, and buying comic books. Er, they're for...my husband? Not me. Certainly not. Ahem.
As I was saying, TLA is the most fun time of year. It's a chance to learn about your job and experience it through the eyes of many different library employees. There's also a chance to hear authors speak, which is super inspiring to me as a writer. I had more ideas come out of the author talks than I could shake a stick at.
Plus, Henry Winkler will be there.
Duh, that's obviously the best part.
I'm so excited! Cannot wait. Carrie is there now for pre-conference, and tomorrow the conference will officially start. I will be there Thursday and Friday. Thursday was the day that has the most stuff I'm interested in, so I honestly have no idea how I am going to cram in everything. I have a list of the things I want to see most, plus alternates. Oy. I'm exhausted just thinking about running about a huge convention hall!
Maybe this year I will actually be able to buy a Pigeon doll.
Did you get a pigeon???
