Not only will students get to cast their votes for the most enticing cover, but they will learn more about what’s between the covers. Great contest idea!

I had been told attendance at TLA was down as many of the educators in the organization had opted for TCEA due to state testing conflicting with this conference. SAD! I would LOVE to go to ISTE this summer, but funds are a problem at this time. I need to go to ALA (since Im on this committee and all) but that’s not looking like it will happen either. But I will let you know if miraculously i can come to ISTE. I loved San Antonio last ISTE it was there (which I did attend) and have dreamed of returning to enjoy Riverwalk again. Thanks for stopping by to comment.

I’m so glad you enjoyed TLA! Thanks for your wonderful recap post. I go often, but this year I had to miss, because I spent my funds on TCEA (the Texas version of ISTE) and ISTE (coming up in June). I’m so sad I missed meeting some of you in person! But, perhaps I’ll get to catch you at the next TLA conference. Or perhaps you’ll be at ISTE (coincidentally – in Texas?) :)

Thank you for coming to Texas! We love our out-of-state presenters because it gives us an opportunity show off our hospitality, organization, cohesiveness and spirit! We work as one unified body, supporting all libraries and advocating for the profession. Our strength comes from truly respecting one another and the work we all do to engage and educate our communities regardless of the type of library.
I do hope that you come next year to San Antonio, which will be hosting our conference. We appreciate you sharing your work and expertise with us and hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Warmly,
Maribel Castro, HS Liibrarian
TLA President 2011

I was just appointed an additional year on this committee, so I’m game to do it again if TPTB (the powers that be) want me to come back. Id like to come back again, presenting or not. TLA and TASL seem to be a powerful group.

It’s so interesting to see it through a guest’s eyes. I’m happy that you were able to take in so much in such a short time – sessions, exhibits, authors and networking! You did it all, plus giving a presentation! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with our Texas librarians and sharing about our conference with your readers. Come back anytime!

Outstanding everything. I guess it’s true that Texas does everything BIG. Big and wonderful!

Thank you for taking the time to blog about our conference. Us Texas librarians appreciate all of you who take the time to come join us and share your knowledge and experiences. It is because of speakers such as yourself that our conference is always a tremendous success.

I hope you will visit with us, again.
