Well, I made to Philadelphia and the opening of the exhibit floor! Seeing old friends and meeting new ones has been a great experience. Tomorrow, Saturday, I will take pictures of the sessions and some of the authors on stage and other locations. I love ALA and ALSC! Looking forward to creating some Zines!

Good morning! Today I am looking forward to Zines, Book Buzz Theater and lots of authors and illustrators! Talk to you later!
Patty Gonzales Ramirez (she/her/hers) is the Retired Public Services Manager with the Dallas Public library and a beginner podcaster. She is most looking forward to the Newbery-Caldecott-Legacy Banquet. As a 2025 Caldecott committee member she plans to reconnect some great friendships! Patty has always wanted to be a librarian and has been able to live that dream! Her favorite book has consistently been “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee; it is very reminiscent of her childhood in the Jim Crow South. As a new and learning podcaster, she hopes to share her love of books and library experiences.
