It is not every day that a library conference is held in my backyard. (Okay, maybe not exactly my backyard but only 13.9 miles and 26 minutes away). But, this year for the first time ever, the Colorado Association of Libraries Conference is being held in Northern Colorado and I am ridiculously giddy. A conference center packed with hundreds of librarians from all over the state. The bunheads, school librarians, the progressives, the traditionals, corporate librarians, the moderns, academic librarians, the lipstick librarians, the overall wearing youth librarians, the public librarians, the IT geeks, the ponytail sporting children’s librarians will all be together in one building talking about what we love best—libraries.
Copious note taking and question asking by day. Carousing and reveling by night. Nothing says serious research and reference like swarms of tipsy librarians on the loose in a college town. Let the Conference Commence!
