ALA 2009 Recap

Over 27,000 people attended the American Library Association’s annual conference in Chicago this year. For Children’s Book Press, it was a chance to showcase our new books, celebrate recent successes, and meet face-to-face with librarians, colleagues, and partners. Below are photos of some highlights from the show:
