In case you were wondering if I ever made it back from OLA, you can rest assured that I did and it was a blast. I had a chance to catch up with some old friends like Patricia Storms and Marsha Skrypuch and meet some new ones like Ben Hodson.

The snow storm blowing outside that day definitely kept many folks away, but the conference was still busy and I met many great librarians and teachers. Thanks to all of them for the work they do in getting kids reading. Not only do they help improve our society but they help keep me fed! So, thank you!!

And huge thanks to everyone at Orca Publishing for inviting me to OLA and making me feel so welcome.
