Thank You to Everyone Who Attended PLA 2008!

A grand total of 9,810 library staff, supporters, exhibitors, authors and guests descended on the Minneapolis Convention Center, March 25-29, for various workshops and discussions that focused on key issues such as technology; serving adults; youth and new Americans; gaming in libraries; library design; and collection development; often drawing standing room only crowds. The conference offered attendees countless opportunities to hear bestselling authors, to get inspired by keynote speakers, to learn from industry experts, to network with their colleagues, and to explore the latest in library services from more than 800 vendors.

Thank you for helping to make PLA 2008 a great success. Mark your calendars for the 13th PLA National Conference in Portland, Oregon, March 23 -27, 2010.
