I spent a week in Florida, visiting relatives and friends. We brought some “Vermont” with us–a breezy cold front that had everyone shivering for a few days! Highlights: Visiting local libraries, J. N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island, Red Sox vs. Boston College in Fort Myers, neighborhood tour of Sarasota, and blackened grouper. 
Captiva Island Public Library and Town Hall
Favorite sessions: Millennials and Information Behaviors; Jacqueline Woodson (Margaret A. Edwards Award Event); Flattening of the Web; Behind bars (collab. between libraries and juvenile corrections facilities); Madeleine Albright’s address. Off to a good start: AILA’s “I don’t know any Indians”–looking for more resources for providing better library services.Congrats, Trina! It was great seeing your picture on the Wall of Fame!Morial Center looks great–it’s still a couple of miles long! Shuttle service was excellent. Tech support perfect. “We’re jazzed to see you” welcome committee at the doors was a nice touch! Yes, you can hold a major conference in the Big Easy.
