What’s in the Secret Inbox of Mystery?

What’s this?

Better open it…

American Library Association Annual Conference here I come! This one has the makings of the best ever for the following reasons.

1. It’s close to home. A mere hop and skip around Lake Michigan for me.

2. There will be Nerds. A large contingent of Michigan Nerdy Book Club blog folks will be making the trek – keep your eyes peeled while on the exhibit floor and during the Newbery/Caldecott banquet for people using their hands as maps.

While I never seem to be able to write many blog posts during the conference, I’ll definitely be working the Instagram and Twitter.

Are you coming?

  1. It’s an event of a lifetime for me. I wouldn’t miss it.

  2. I wouldn’t miss it! I will be using my hand as a map as well as being very nerdy! :)

  3. Nope! I had been planning to go while still at my old library, but now that I’ve switched jobs—it’s not going to work out this time. Maybe next time it’s in Chicago. I wish they still had them in Michigan sometimes. We could use the $!

  4. Yes! And will you be at the Caldecott Preconference on Friday? I leave tomorrow, and I’m excited!

    • Travis Jonker says:

      Alas, no Caldecott preconference for me. I’m sad to miss it – sounds incredible. Have a good time!

  5. Liblaura5 says:

    Absolutely!
    Packing right now as I surf the ALA scheduler from my phone!

  6. I’ll be there! I’m on my way to the city now, with a layover day in Indiana.
