PLA: Public Library Association Conference

 Last week, I was lucky enough to attend PLA in Minneapolis and it was really neat! I learned a bunch, took a lot of ideas home, and met some cool people.

On my arrival day, I walked to the main branch of the library.


And took a selfie:

Here's the statue inside:

Some boards in the Children's Room - they had a lot of interactive boards. 

I was waiting for the teen maker space to open, so I killed some time working on a puzzle.

There are four floors to the library and I had a great time scoping everything out.
For some reason I didn't take a picture of the teen maker space room, but it was really awesome.

I went to the Hen House twice and enjoyed it both times.

Here's a photo of the inside

Me before moderating a panel of super nice authors with great books (more about all those books later)
You can't really see it, but my necklace is a bookshelf that has doors on it. 

On Saturday, I saw the river, check out that sky! The weather was mostly dreary except for that first day and lots of mist/snow.

And also this amazing Romance bookstore. I wanted ALL the books! 

Take a look at the window display!

All in all, it was great time.
