By now librarians across the country are packing their bags and headed to Chicago for the annual American Library Association conference. (Did you know that the original plot for Lunch Lady and the League of Librarians initially revolved around the librarians secretly meeting at a conference to plan world domination? My editor didn't think it kid-centric enough, so that aspect was scrapped.)
I can't wait to join the festivities. Perhaps I'll see you there? Here is where you'll find me:
