American Library Association announces 2021 Midwinter Meeting will be Virtual
by Jennifer L. Dean 08 Aug '20

08 Aug '20

Received from ALA Council Secretariat Marsha P. Burgess August 6: The following message is sent on behalf of the American Library Association President Julius C. Jefferson, Jr. CHICAGO — The American Library Association’s Executive Board announced today that the 2021 ALA Midwinter Meeting & Exhibits scheduled for January 22-26 in Indianapolis will take place virtually. “It is clear that as we continue to coexist with coronavirus, we need to adjust our approach to meetings and events,” said Julius C. Jefferson, Jr., ALA president. “In the last few months, we have successfully pivoted our delivery to present the Virtual Event in June and ALA’s Holding Space tour series this summer. Though we very much hoped to be able to meet in person in Indianapolis, the health and safety of conference attendees, ALA members and staff, exhibitors, and other stakeholders are the priority.” Jefferson continued: “We will have incredibly dynamic speakers, a full online exhibit floor, and more features that I know you’ll love.” The preliminary roster of speakers, which is set to include some of today’s most highly regarded keynoters and authors, will be announced early this fall along with ongoing announcements of programs, sessions, meetings, and exhibits. Registration will open in November. “This Midwinter would have been ALA’s last before we introduce a totally new convening that I think will truly excite members and the larger field,” ALA Executive Director Tracie D. Hall said. “It would have been great to have a sense of closure and to generate collective excitement in a face-to-face setting for what’s to come. But I am inspired by the more than 10,000 attendees, authors, speakers and stakeholders who came together for the June Virtual Event and related business meetings, convenings and award ceremonies. We had people who were able to attend an ALA conference for the first time in their careers connecting with the Association and all that we offer. So, from my vantage point, I am also looking at the members and new constituents our virtual convenings are allowing us to reach.” Sincerely, Julius C. Jefferson, Jr. ALA President Jennifer L.

by Jocelyn Levin 07 Aug '20

Anyone need some spare hanging bags? Reply with your RIDES Code please :) I have 20 clear bags with interlocking blue handles, approximately 13"x13" plus 3" handle height. They look similar to these two photos, but are square and a bit larger. All have been used and have had library labels removed. I also have 9 clear hanging bags with side slide zip openings rather than top openings, about 13"x10.5".
