WLA2007 photos

Just a few amateur photos of a few of us at this year's WLA convention in Green Bay. Author Michael Perry was the most enjoyable to photograph (so animated!), but I managed to capture some nice shots of others.

Thanks to all who tolerated my camera in their faces.

Librarians Make a Fashion Statement

WLA Conference attendees received free t-shirts proclaiming, Wisconsin Libraries: Keep Us All in a Better State, the theme of the Campaign for Wisconsin Libraries. As a program of the WLA Foundation, the Campaign promotes the value of all types of libraries in Wisconsin. Additional free merchandise can be ordered at http://www.wisconsinlibraries.org. The new merchandise is available, in part, through a generous contribution from Highsmith.
