Report from Library-land

Opening session at the Texas Library Association Conference with David Balducci


Everything you need to know about helping children read from reading expert Dick Allington: Volume and access.
Sounds like the library to me.


Author Katherine Center. Her new book was on my wishlist. And I got a copy!


The usual conference crazies.


Amazing authors. L to R: Mac Barnett, David Small and Sarah Weeks, Ed Young.


Teen book frenzy.


First place at the librarian 5K!


211 books scored!

    211! Do you buy them or are they giveaways? Amazing to see the kids with groaning stacks too. Congratulations on the 5K win- that's fantastic.

      All giveaways. A big part of the fun of the conference is the thrill of the hunt.
