ALA Midwinter Meeting

January 26, 2017 by Benjamin Ludwig Leave a Comment

Just last week I was in Atlanta for the American Library Association’s Midwinter Meeting.  When I walked in I was greeted by a very large sign, so I stood next to it and asked my editor to snap a picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shortly after, we went to the HarperCollins booth where I met more librarians than I could ever hope to count.   Many of them stopped in to chat about Ginny Moon and to get their copies signed, but we also talked about books.  And schools!  A lot of the librarians knew that I’d been a teacher-trainer and English/language arts teacher for many years, so they were especially interested to talk about school-library issues.  And, since Ginny Moon is a crossover book (it’s intended for adults, but it’s a great fit for teenagers too) there was tons to discuss.  Here’s an inside-view from my seat at the signing booth, right before we got started:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As if the day couldn’t get any better, I met one of my favorite YA authors, Kwame Alexander.  He was signing on the other side of the booth from me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was only in Atlanta for a day, but it was one of the best days I’ve ever had.  Incredibly insightful, incredibly informative, and incredibly fun.  Librarians are some of the BEST people on the planet.
