My first ALA was through a B&T grant, and after that I started going when I was on the YALSA Selected Audiobooks committee- my school paid for those. And lucky for me, I live near Chicago, and ALA is there every few years. Plus, as an author it's now a tax write-off. So that doesn't make you a bad librarian at all! And Ronni, I was loving all your Disney pictures! I totally agree with your order.Julie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02958657470974321708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31092275.post-68763464623157168852012-02-20T15:11:29.848-06:002012-02-20T15:11:29.848-06:00I'm all about maximizing your Disney time.

I wanted to go to ALA (or maybe it was midwinter) when it was in San Diego because that meant I would get lots of time to visit my brother. I ended up not going at all, but sadly, to me it's not worth going to a big conference like that unless I get to do something else while I'm there since my library doesn't pay for the full travel and hotel stay.<br />So I say maximize your Disney time. Hopefully that does not make me a bad librarian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
