ALA Midwinter Dallas Guide
ALA Midwinter The American Library Association's Midwinter Conference is being held in Dallas this year, and I am very excited. The children's book world rarely ventures into my backyard, and though I'm not attending, I wanted to lend a local perspective to all our literary minded visitors. To preface- Dallas gets a bad rap. We're not quite as cool as Austin, but I have grown to appreciate Dallas as a city with lots to do, full of kind, intelligent people.I’ve made some updates to the conference tips I shared last year before ALA. Hopefully, there is a little something for everyone, I’ve added a short packing list of things I can’t live without and a reading list with suggestions on networking and tips for introverts.

[UPDATE FOR MIDWINTER 2013: This is last year's post, but the principles of the exercise are the same. Just didn't want to reinvent the wheel.] As the ebooks in libraries war rages on, we’ve been having a tough time putting our money where our mouths are. In my last post , I talked a bit about our’ struggle to prove their worth to a publishing industry that’s less than receptive to emotional appeals.

hello. if you are soon coming to dallas for the ala midwinter conference in a couple of weeks, I welcome you to my fair town. I was born and raised in, left, then returned to dallas. as of now, I'm a proud resident of the best zip code in the city, 75226. dallas is sort of a prickly city, not having a particularly tourist-friendly downtown, but it's been trying hard to get better. for those of you staying at the omni (ala hq), I can see your glowing lights from the roof my building. so here, from me to you, are a list of places I love, all within a three-mile radius of the omni. I have tried to feature local/independent establishments, but feel free to add suggestions in the comments. also let me know if you'd like recommendations for any place else. if you enjoy good coffee (and breakfast), please visit oddfellows (in oak cliff) or pearl cup (on ross ave).
