First-time ALSC live blogger – hi, all – and if memory serves, my seventh ALA annual conference. What a exciting time to be in San Francisco! I got a chance to go to Muir Woods and take a city tour before digging into conference registration pickup and prep. Since I\u2019m in marathon training, I also got to run along the water to the fog-enshrouded Golden Gate Bridge and back to the hotel. The running tour was a great way to get a taste of the Fisherman\u2019s Wharf, Fort Mason and Crissy Field.<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel like with this conference, especially, that no matter how much you plan \u2014 and you SHOULD of course\u2014that you take what you can get and learn as you go. Twas sad that I only got to catch the last part of #guerillastorytime this year, but always a fun and worthwhile experience to share and learn best practices. Other bloggers covered it well here, but suffice it to say, it\u2019s always something to seek out at the ALA annual conference. Last night\u2019s Michael L. Printz Award panel was amazing to see too, with lots of great author insights and some gushing over Jandy Nelson\u2019s speech for her winning book I\u2019ll Give You the Sun<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, I\u2019m looking forward to:<\/span><\/p>\n

+”Managing the Future: Supporting Your Youth Services Innovators\u201d with our very own Abby Johnson and other great librarians. Dare I say better than that first cup of coffee? I think so.<\/span><\/p>\n

+ASLCA 101 – seeing that I\u2019m a new children\u2019s services consultant for the Indiana State Library, I\u2019ll be learning all things ASCLA and helping my New Jersey counterpart, Sharon Rawlins, out for this session.<\/span><\/p>\n

+the protein bar in my purse\u2026because who has time for lunch when 3 great authors will be at the Candlewick booth!? Hopefully, I can get in the line in good time while gnawing on that Clif bar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

+”The Fusion of Play into Library Environments\u201d session to refocus on incorporating those five best early literacy practices in all that we do with youth services.<\/span><\/p>\n

+Conversation Starter – “Girls Like Fart Jokes and Boys Have Feelings – Beyond Gendered Reader\u2019s Advisory\u201d – I\u2019ll be applauding over this readers\u2019 advisory and collections panel for youth.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s late. I’m off to finish getting ready for the first session! Have a good one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Angela Dubinger, Children\u2019s Services Consultant<\/span><\/p>\n
