Texas Library Conference

Once again I had a great time at the Texas Library Conference. The authors were all great and the sessions were very helpful. Often there are two or three sessions at the same time that sound so interesting deciding which to attend is getting more difficult every year. The only session that was very disappointing was one on Facebook and your Library. Almost everyone in the session had a facebook account and like me were interested in starting a page for our libraries. I had so many questions, and unfortunately none were answered. The presenter proceeded to show us how to set up personal pages which had nothing to do with what any of us wanted. The frustration in the room was obvious and many people walked out of the session. This was especially disappointing to me because there was another session at the same time that I could have attended and didn't so I could learn how to set up an account for my library. Oh well, I have the summer to figure it out.
Getting Suzanne Collins autograph turned out to be another adventure as we were told she would only sign 200 autographs. Wristbands were given out at the authors signing area and people, including myself, were literally running to be one of the 200. You could hear the huffing and the puffing once we all got in line. It was all fun and then we all had a chance to visit with each other and share our library stories.
Until next year, see y'all in Austin.
