The show is over and my feet hurt! But every librarian I spoke with raved about this year’s show. I appreciated the few lulls and the opportunity to discuss what kind of programs are working, what patrons are looking for in the way of non-fiction, and I also like knowing the challenges, particularly with digital books. I depend on the librarians’ point-of-view for insight into the book marketplace. I bring back all information I get to meetings in the office. I did have one librarain tell me she felt grateful when I wrote her feedback down. Personally, I would love a library/publisher forum opportunity at these shows. Or if that is too intrusive, an online forum after the show to discuss what “worked” for attendees.
