Think lovely thoughts

I'm off tomorrow for ALA in D.C. and am wondering if 20,000 librarians could accomplish what 1200 hippies could not. Otherwise you will find me mainly in the exhibit hall with Al while Martha and Elissa stalk the sessions. Our booth number is 725, and we will be giving away posters and Horn Books--stick it out until Monday morning and you can pick up a copy of the July-August issue, featuring the speeches given the night before. Because, like librarians everywhere, we are magic.
