I just attended a fabulous session on providing services to immigrant populations. It encompassed academic (Georgia) and public libraries (Austin), and featured a third speaker from the Mexican consulate, who spoke about joint programs they offer with the Dallas Public Libraries. I'll be posting my notes from this session later this evening--having trouble finding the time to plug into the internet at the moment!

I'd also like to say that today has illustrated another thing I love about being a TLA member. I'm driving to Plano and taking the DART-rail in each day, so I don't have a "conference buddy" to travel with... but I've already run into people I know from TLA, from Dallas Public, Denton Public, UNT, TWU, and various other groups and committees. It's fabulous to be in such an active group of interesting people. If you're looking for a place to get involved, I strongly suggest you attend Wednesday's 10:15 session on "Getting the Most out of TLA: Your Guide to Active Involvement" (Convention Center C, room 144/145).
