Waiting in the surprisingly fast line for the Opening General Session, check. Great seat, check! I’m so excited for this year’s featured speakers and moderator, Carla Hayden, Trombone Shorty and Michelle Obama! Despite it being the length of a football field, the line moved quickly and there were plenty of things to look at while in the queue. I loved seeing the multilingual “Welcome” poster displayed at the ALA store and the amazing Biblioquilts that were donated for the ALA Silent Auction. I gave a loud cheer when the large screens projected the upcoming addition of the American Indian Library Association, the Association of Jewish Libraries and the Asian Pacific American Library Association awards to the 2019 Youth Media Awards. So much positivity and inclusivity to kick off #alaac18 and the Opening General Session hasn’t even started yet!https://www.alsc.ala.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/3C3DE30D-2601-4450-AA55-382863111C54-650x488.jpeg
