Thanks to the hounding encouragement of my colleagues at Augsburg (thanks, guys!), I’ll be attending the Minnesota Library Association 2009 Conference in St. Cloud, MN, October 14-16. I recently became a member of the MLA—it’ll be great to meet some people and check the pulse of Minnesota libraries, including public ones (oo oo, there’s a session on graphic novels—my heart says yes but my head says heck yes).
