Summer…

Yesterday was the “official” start to summer, and so I’ve re-committed myself to writing more often – yah know, Summer in the City and such. You’ve heard it before, but I’ve entered it as a repeating task in my calendar. Believe it, it’s gonna happen like it’s 2008 (when I was so much better about posting ).

I’m afraid I’m already behind and we’re only 1 day into summer. I’m getting ready to travel to D.C. for a week of library fun. It’s time for the Annual Conference of the American Library Association (ALA). This is the 1st ALA that I will attend as an exhibitor, and I’m not exactly sure what to expect. I worked another library show back in March as an exhibitor, but this is so much bigger. Plus, I’m used to trolling the exhibit floor collecting an obscene amount of galleys, which I then have to ship home because they won’t fit in my suitcase. I have a feeling that I won’t have nearly the time to explore that I’ve had in the past, and that when I can explore, I’ll need to be closer to focused on the dreaded “networking.” I’m sure to amass a small set of new books regardless.

No matter what, I will have fun! It’s a gathering of librarians, talking library talk, and getting excited about information. What more can one ask for when traveling for work?!

So, if I don’t post again until next Tuesday, please know that I’m thinking of you, but simply can’t find Internet. <3
