I didn’t get a chance to thank every vendor at #ilaac25 but you best believe I was at the union booth.

What an amazing @illibraryassoc.bsky.social conference! I’m so proud of the work done by the planning committee, awed by all the ILA staff efforts, and grateful for the speakers, presenters, and attendees—you made this conference wonderful. #ILAAC25

Dilla being interviewed as part of the President's program.
#ILAAC25 is wrapping up, so time for me to post belatedly about it. It was nice to catch up with Teen Librarians and hear a lot of ideas that I wishfully think we can do. Also, Dilla and Roy Kinsey are local treasures. Hope to *finally* go on one of Dilla's neighborhood tours soon...

My main takeaway from @wendyxu.bsky.social ‘s Youth Services Author Breakfast at #ilaac25 is that we could absolutely be besties (and that I can’t wait for her next book)

Sign at the Illinois Library Association Annual Conference says "Gender Neutral Restroom".
As I've said a number of times before, I don't care who uses the same public restroom as me, as long as it's not Jack Nicholson in the movie Wolf. #ilaac25

Loved the defending our values session today, great stuff. Want to remind us all that often the worst enemies are in the library already. Like the youth department that refused to put up a pride month display until 2020 (yes 2020) even though a long time staff member was queer themselves. #ilaac25
