I finally made it back to my house after an extended trip home [extra time in airports, extra time in Boston, extra time on the bus] and it’s great to be here. I felt that this was one of my most productive conferences yet, even though it was a bit lacking in the “seeing all the friends I don’t see often enough” scale. I’m still putting together a wrap up, but in the meantime, feel free to read the ones I’ve found online:
- Pink Sneakers blog
- Karen’s LITA Councilors report
- Rochelle’s Council wrap-up from which I will pull this list of notable resolutions and add one that was important to me at the end
- Resolution in Suport of Immigrants Rights to Free Public Library Access
- Resolution on Disinformation, Media Manipulation & the Destruction of Public Information
- Resolution on the Connection between the Iraq War and Libraries
- Resolution on Threats to Library Materials Related to Sex, Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation
- Resolution on Support for Community Broadband Initiatives [paraphrased for now]
- Some official numbers from ALA, record-breaking attendance.
