Saturday at ALA Midwinter 2010

January 17, 2010

Saturday was an exciting, fun filled day at the ALA's midwinter conference. Early risers were treated to the first installment of the Sunrise Speaker series with author Elizabeth Gilbert. On the exhibit floor many attendees took the opportunity to stop by the multiple book signings, which took place throughout the day. And there was much excitement when former vice president Al Gore delivered the Arthur Curley Memorial Lecture in the afternoon.
