End of Show #PLA12

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.
