On Saturday, I staffed the library’s booth at the Book Club Expo in San Jose. I was able to see one Salon: Twentieth Century Classics with Diana Loevy who wrote The Book Club Companion, and Kira Stevens who wrote Good Books Lately and a couple of other panelists.
The booth was pretty slow but the majority of visitors said they used libraries. From an outreach standpoint, we were preaching to the choir. The best part was getting to see some friends… [ Hey, Emily! ]
I think libraries should have booths at music festivals or car shows. Anyone want to help me run a library themed booth at Viva Las Vegas 2008? How about a library camp at Burning Man?
