I’m so excited to be here and be live blogging!  Starting at Noon (central time), I’ll start posting and tweeting from the ASCLA & Toon Books joint institute on Comics and Literacy.  For those of you interested in Comics and Graphic Novels, and want to follow along with the presentation, feel free to follow me on twitter: @aly_fp. Before I sign off, I wanted to share a quick tidbit of information that will help you upon arriving at McCormick.  The signs for registration are very difficult to see, so when you get off the second escalator, hang a sharp right! Registration will be along that back wall.  After you register be sure to grab your ALSC Ribbon and wear it proud! Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend the ALSC & Leadership event on Saturday as I will be in award deliberations Saturday and Sunday- but if you see...
