did a desk tidy before i left for #pla2026 and left a few wrapped candies next to my computer for future use. in my absence they were stolen by something that also ate expensive earbuds and abandoned one item en route to their destination 🐭 🍬 🎧
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Clarivate booth and joined us for happy hour at PLA 2026 in Minneapolis.
It was a pleasure connecting and talking about practical ways libraries are strengthening workflows, expanding access and increasing community impact. #PLA2026
A copy of War for the Oaks is held up in front of Minnehaha Falls
Highlight of my life getting to go around Minneapolis and show my all-time favorite book some of its landmarks. Fourteen-year-old me is still screaming.
(And thirty-four-year-old me is screaming for receiving a new-to-me signed first edition copy from a friend at #PLA2026.)
finally home to the cats and kid after a cancelled flight and extra night thanks #pla2026 it was fun

My first PLA was fantastic! Amazing speakers, informative panels, and so many great experiences (like petting Sofie in the PLA Dog Park!) Now to start working my way through all these ARCs… #PLA2026

Thank you for an amazing #PLA2026! 💜 Public libraries are at the heart of their communities. Every conversation we had over the last few days has been a reminder of that spirit. Thank you for sharing how you are connecting with and innovating for those you serve.

Just returned home from 4 wonderful days at the Public Library Association conference in Minneapolis. #PLA2026 was amazing! President Brandy McNeil, and all the PLA board and staff deserve tremendous kudos. Highlights included Brian Stevenson, the mayor of Minneapolis and an amazing set of sessions.
After a week being library software vender guy at #PLA2026 I can reaffirm libraries and librarians are the greatest. Love my tribe of folk.
Fireworks erupt from the Minnesota Twins’ Jumbotron against a gray sky.
After an hour delay due to a power outage (and $2 beer to make up for it), a horrible safe call at first base, a thunderstorm, a downpour, and a grand slam, Twins win! Nice way to wrap up #PLA2026!
Nice #pla2026, organizers! Lots of great programs and great people. I’m hobbling home on a pulled calf, with sore legs, and about 30 extra pounds or tote bags.
