Hello to Freedom from cloudy Boston where I am attending my first Public Library Association Conference. This morning I went to "Book Buzz" hosted by Nancy Pearl - you may have heard of her: there is a librarian action figure modeled after her! Panelists from 4 different publishing houses including Random House and HarperCollins had the difficult task of each selecting 10 upcoming books to recommend. I got some great ideas for book purchases that I think Freedom folks will enjoy. I was 20 minutes early to this presentation and found the ballroom absolutely jammed with people. I finally found a seat, but probably a hundred others weren't so lucky and had to listen from out in the lobby. There were so many people I couldn't take a decent photograph and could hardly see from way in the back, but here's a picture of the sign!
