    Good evening David,

     

    I am just checking my email and noted your question. We did have a meeting today and I apologize for not getting back to you sooner.

     

    Here is our schedule for ALA Annual:

    Friday Night, Dinner, Iron Hill Brewery, 7p, you need to RSVP to Michelle Lauer Bader at michele.lauer.bader@gmail.com

     

    On Saturday we did have a tour available of a Library in the area but it filled quickly and you would have had to RSVP when you registered for ALA Conference.

     

    We have a membership meeting which typically takes place at 2:30pm on Saturday, we will be confirmed on that probably next month. Following the meeting we typically have our book club meeting at the conference at 4pm.

     

    On Sunday we have our President's program which will be a presentation by someone who works at the Philadelphia Art Museum, that will most likely take place around 10:30am, additionally, we are co sponsoring a reception with NMRT at 7pm that evening.

     

    On Monday we will be having a program with United for Libraries entitled "Librarians as Changemakers" discussing opportunities for retired ALA members, that is scheduled to take place at 9am.

     

    Please double check the ALA program for times/dates/locations.

     

    I hope that helps.

     

    --Lisa
