Twitter is abuzz with what to pack, the Librarian of Congress, and sightseeing in ALA’s hometown of Chicago. Follow #alaac17 for all conference updates and #alaleftbehind for those staying at home.
First, you wake up with #alaac17 on your mind.
Dreamt I met @LibnOfCongress and fangirled so much that I couldn't manage a proper selfie. Must be time for #alaac17.

Then you see this tweet, which will probably encourage more #alaac17 dreams for the next few days.
