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.
My ARC haul from one day at @alamw with @TigerBarbara WOWZA! Great conference. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some reading to do… pic.twitter.com/luhwYtWzQp

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

Ok- I caved to pressure that no one put on me and got a beautiful dessert! #alamw20 @thestoriesguy #isfruithealthyasamousse pic.twitter.com/NjtfmG4b0p

Followed by the Carnegie awards!

Then it was time to get some sleep (if we could) before the ALA YMAs!
Going to bed before the Youth Media Awards feels kind of like the night before Christmas. I can’t wait for all the winners to be unveiled and to finally share the announcement of the Alex Awards! #alamw20
