Hi. I am a day school librarian in NJ. I attended my first AJL convention last year, had a wonderful time, and learned a lot. I will hopefully be going to Oakland in June, and Boston next year.
However, I would like to ask how the convention dates are decided. The 3rd week of June means that school is still in session, and I assume that is true for many school librarians, not just me. It seems that the scheduling is not taking into consideration that missing the last week of school is really bad timing, and I think you would get a higher school librarian turnout if this were not the case. I just wanted to mention this for future planning, since day school librarians are an important part of AJL.
