Work&#8217;s been busy (because when isn&#8217;t it?), some things in the Alaska Library Association have moved forward (which is fantastic, but potentially time-consuming), various life stuff (including more of Dale&#8217;s and my first year as homeowners) has continued to happen, and Group G&#8217;s Emerging Leaders project has taken up way more of my time and energy than I should admit to, given the other things I&#8217;m supposed to be getting done. But that last one, at least, will be over soon. We&#8217;re pulling together our report and our presentation(s), and it&#8217;s really nice to reflect on all that&#8217;s been accomplished in less than six months.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll write a longer post about Emerging Leaders, later; specifically, I really want to do a comparison with PNLA Leads, the other leadership program I&#8217;ve participated in. But we have a web conference, half a day of leadership training, and a poster session to go before I&#8217;ve &#8220;emerged,&#8221; so it seems a little premature to blog about the program at length.<\/p>\n<p>I will say, if you&#8217;re looking for me in Anaheim, there&#8217;s a good chance that I&#8217;m doing something related to my EL project, <a href=\"http:\/\/librariansbuildcommunities.org\">Librarians Build Communities<\/a>. (<a href=\"https:\/\/sheldon-hess.org\/coral\/2012\/04\/lbc\/\">Still<\/a> looking for people to write blog posts about their experiences volunteering, by the way! They can be short. Pictures are nice, but not required. <em>Pretty please?<\/em>)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Friday is all EL stuff, including our <a href=\"http:\/\/ala12.scheduler.ala.org\/node\/1185\">Poster Session and Reception<\/a> (please come! there will be snacks :)) and then a reception with ELs and Maureen Sullivan, which I feel all weird typing out, but I have to say, it sounds delightful. (Doubly so, since I missed a similar reception at Midwinter, due to my luggage going missing.)<\/li>\n<li>On Saturday, we&#8217;re presenting our progress to the <a href=\"http:\/\/ala12.scheduler.ala.org\/node\/1185\">Chapter Relations Committee<\/a>. (We&#8217;re only talking for 10 minutes.) In non-EL news, I am on a board that is meeting at the same time as my favorite libraryesque author, David Weinberger. It&#8217;s an elected position, and one I take seriously, so my sense of responsibility will probably win out, but wow will it hurt. I will try to salve the pain by watching George R.R. Martin talk, later. But it will be less applicable to my job.<\/li>\n<li>On Sunday, at 1pm, <a href=\"http:\/\/ala12.scheduler.ala.org\/node\/3305\" title=\"Emerging Leaders Seeking States to Host Librarians Build Communities\">my EL team will be at the ALA Advocacy Corner<\/a> (yeah, the title is not a good advocacy sales pitch, in and of itself, is it? but the talk will be better &#8230; probably!), talking about Librarians Build Communities. That, I think, is the last of the EL stuff, for me. (<em>NOT<\/em> the last of Librarians Build Communities, which I&#8217;ll be doing here in Alaska until March. I also technically own the website, so I&#8217;ll at least have to have a digital chat or two with next year&#8217;s team. And I&#8217;m worried that nobody else on this year&#8217;s team is willing to mentor next year&#8217;s group, so I might end up doing that.)  <\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s not EL-related, but I&#8217;m helping moderate <a href=\"http:\/\/ala12.scheduler.ala.org\/node\/507\">Library Camp<\/a> again, this year. Aside from being&mdash;if last year is any indicator&mdash;a great chance for conversation and reflection, it&#8217;s also right before <a href=\"http:\/\/ala12.scheduler.ala.org\/node\/505\">Battledecks<\/a>, so you should totally come by!\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m doing lots of other stuff at ALA, but those are the things I <em>have<\/em> to go to. As is becoming usual, I haven&#8217;t scheduled in very much time for the Exhibits Hall. If I decide I don&#8217;t care about Disney after all, I know just the afternoon to spend doing Exhibits&#8230; (Yeah, somehow I ended up with an empty afternoon! It&#8217;s followed by a full evening, but still, that made me happy.) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things have been hectic, since Midwinter.
