#alamw13 Top Ten (or so) Tweets – Day 4 (Monday)

January 29, 2013

After the excitement of the Youth Media Awards, Midwinter started to wrap up. But while many attendees began preparing to make their way home, plenty of events tempted them on what, for many, was their final day in Seattle. Notable among them were the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Observance and Sunrise Celebration, #MakerMonday, another eventful Council session, and the Star Wars–themed Wrap-Up/Rev-Up Celebration.

The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Sunrise Celebration is the best way to start the day imaginable #ALAMW13

Apparently everyone at #alamw13 is eating. All the time. All the things.

Dare we tap-dance through the mine-field of Council II’s dues discussion? Why not.

@librarian_kate I'm in the same boat. Avoided joining ALA for years because employer won't pay for it. Make #ALA cheaper, I say! #alamw13

There have been only 2 dues increases for ALA membership in the last 16 years. Larger increases have effect on membership numbers. #alamw13

Wrapping up, revving up:
