I can hardly believe that the ALA Annual 2023 Conference in Chicago is upon us! As I gather the things I\u2019ll need for a long weekend full of learning, celebrations, and connecting with friends old and new, I\u2019m keeping my energy and enthusiasm up with a particular playlist: the ALSC President\u2019s Program 2023 Playlist<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This playlist includes excellent up-tempo tunes that are ideal for getting packed for conference\u2013and it\u2019s a perfect prelude to what is sure to be a phenomenal President’s Program on Monday afternoon of the conference. The President’s Program panel will feature three amazing leaders within the library and book community. I cannot wait to be in the room for this inspiring conversation about all the ways youth library workers are powerful, no matter their role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
