Midwinter looks a little different this year.
But there are benefits to a virtual conference.

Coziest first ALA Midwinter Conference. In my bed with tea, hiding from my kids. #ALAMW21 pic.twitter.com/dgTJhHhs1A

It still has all the inspiring speakers and sessions.
The collaboration between @mattdelapena and Christian Robinson is magic! Can’t wait to hear about the process for their latest work “Milo Imagines the World!” #ALAMW21 @UELMA_Utah pic.twitter.com/9Y92Cp1Y40

“Keep your eye on the prize…stay United.” Ruby Bridges has me in tears!! She was 6 y/o when she was the 1st student to desegregate an all-white school in Louisiana in 1960. I taught her story back when I was a classroom teacher…such an honor to hear her speak today! #ALAMW21 pic.twitter.com/BmWyMxEfIw

Plus, your feet won’t get sore walking around a huge convention center, but your fingers may get a workout.

And here’s a beautiful story that shows what it’s like to come full circle.
1971: A young New York librarian named Geri attends her first @ALALibrary conference.
*Exactly 50 Years Later*
2021: Geri’s granddaughter attends the same conference as a guest speaker to talk about her debut book, then calls her grandma to tell her all about it. #ALAMW21 😭 pic.twitter.com/mG4LCeQ4iV
