    Hi Nann,
    I'm glad to see you're still in the mix! I just rejoined RMRT.
    Do you think there might be a shuttle to the Obama Presidential Library? I'm sure you will let us know if it comes about.
    Thanks!

    Welcome back to RMRT, Donna -
    Since Obama Library ticket admissions are online and strictly timed, I think that visitors need to get themselves there (public transportation or taxi/ride share).

    I don't know if ALA or any of the vendors plan to hold events there.
