ALA Annual Conference Update

Hello my fellow bookworms!

This month has come and gone in a flash. Anything that I thought was going to happen did, but not the way I expected. In short, I wish I had more time for things, but you take what you can get. 

As mentioned in my last post, I was able to visit the ALA Annual Conference this past week in Washington, D.C. Due to a family emergency, I did not stay the entire time I expected to, but, my short excursion was an informative and fun experience overall. I was able to meet some authors, receive free books, see different publishers, learn what was happening in the publishing and library world, and much more. If you are able to attend the conference next year, do so! 

Here are some photos from my trip, including the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and some of the exhibitions from above:

A few authors and illustrators signed books for me during the conference. I would like to feature them this year, but have not yet had time to appreciate and read their works yet. Look out for more posts after I catch up on my homework for my summer class! I'm hoping to have a book binge fest this week to celebrate Independence Day here in the states. What are you guys up to this summer? Let me know in the comments! Happy Independence Day to those who celebrate!

Until next time - Happy Reading! :)
