Description:
ALA Annual Programs update was discussed. All of our programs will be in the same room at the InterContinental Hotel across the Chicago River from most of the other venues. We have 5 programs scheduled at ALA, Careers in Federal Libraries, Library Internships, Awards Reception, Membership Meeting and the Executive Board Meeting. This conference will be difficult because of the challenging financial situation at the Federal government. Most Librarians are not allowed to go or must pay their own way and take leave to attend.
