We started off the day with some inspiring sessions.
What a day! Since I’m walking through Philadelphia, should probably take off the silly grin of happiness. #alamw20 I want to express gratitude to each and everyone but I’ve seen today for inspiring me!

While folks were being inspired, some attendees stopped to do some homework.
That conferencing student life… Using the quiet areas to write between sessions because these papers won’t write themselves… I’ve asked. #alamw20 #gradschoolproblems

But we made time for Chef Jeff’s amazing afternoon session!
"Can you imagine growing up and having never heard someone read to you?" Chef Jeff Henderson to a room full of librarians. #alamw20 @Chefjefflive

Then we stopped by the coat check to bring our million books back to the hotel.

And of course, stopped by for a fancy dessert and all the free food possible.
