Are you going, or do you know anyone else who will be? Does anyone have any ideas or opinions? I figured I would reach out to the book blogger community—you all might know more than I do!

Decisions, decisions.
I'm a member of YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) and recently got an e-mail about their biennial conference, occurring this November in Albuquerque, NM. The theme this year is "Diversity, Literature and Teens: Beyond Good Intentions." I've been thinking about attending for a while, and would really like to; it will only cost me $50 to register. I've also discovered that I can get free airfare with frequent flyer miles (and possibly a free hotel room too). The problem is, it's a big trip for me to take by myself, and I don't know anyone else going (at least I don't think so). It sounds really awesome, but I'm on the fence.

That sounds like such an awesome trip! Great way to meet new people in the library services field. Are you aiming to become a YA librarian? You really can't beat free airfare and an almost-free hotel room!
ReplyDeleteI think you should go for it. I won't be going—I'll be in grad school, and I'm not in library science—but I would LOVE to read about your experiences at the conference!
Thanks Jess! I think I will, but I would love to find someone to go with. I tried convincing my boyfriend but he'd be all by himself while I was at the conference...
ReplyDeleteI say go go go! Albuquerque's a nice town, I almost went there for college. It sounds like a great opportunity, and if you want to do traveling in the future, it's good to start small(ish)! You should read that book that Julia reviewed :) Anyways, that's my two cents haha
