Here’s a post to consolidate all the links to my 2019 ALA Annual Conference in one place.<\/p>\n

First, here’s a picture of all the goodies I picked up at the conference this year. It’s actually less than usual because I didn’t go to the exhibits at all on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The conference began with an ALSC preconference on Friday featuring the Honor Winners of various awards.<\/a><\/p>\n

Friday night, I got to hear Jason Reynolds speak and have dinner with the Newbery Honor Winners.<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday began with the PLA Member Welcome Breakfast where I received the Allie Beth Martin Award and Ann Patchett spoke.<\/a><\/p>\n

The middle of the day Saturday featured the Margaret Edwards Lunch with M. T. Anderson and the auditorium speaker series with Eric Klinenberg and Carla Hayden.<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday evening was an amazing dinner with the Newbery committee and winner Meg Medina.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunday was the grand and wonderful Newbery\/Caldecott\/Legacy Banquet!<\/a><\/p>\n

Monday began by hearing George Takei speak.<\/a><\/p>\n

The next speaker I heard was Tomi Adeyemi.<\/a><\/p>\n

And I finished off the conference with the Printz Awards.<\/a><\/p>\n

This also wasn’t nearly as many sessions as I usually attend at a conference, but this one was given over to celebration.<\/p>\n

Here’s a pile of just the things I got signed over the conference:<\/p>\n
