MY DAY AT ALA

I’ve quite lierally just hopped off the train here in NYC after the ALA conference in Washington DC. While I was there, I got to meet lots and lots of fabulous NINJA LIBRARIANS, saw other authors, and even saw some old friends!

I’ve made a little video of the Printz Awards ceremony, which is pretty much focused on John Green. I wish I could show you all of the other great speeches that I heard. And I hate speeches, so these were really good for me to be saying that.

While I was at ALA, several people asked me about Free Monkey. His World Tour webpage is here. He maintains this himself, with the help of his new friends from the tour. But here are two pictures from his most recent stop in my hometown, Philadelphia, PA.

FREE MONKEY enjoys some fine Philadelphia cuisine . . . a cheese steak from Geno’s.

Everyone in Philadelphia dresses like this.

It was exciting to talk to so many librarians about the Battle of Bartlesville. More thoughts on this, and my future moves, later, when I put up a longer post.
