Are any of the librarians in this forum planning to attend ALA? Brodart, Diamond Book Distributors, and Graphic Novel Reporter are organizing another massive graphic novel giveaway in New Orleans - more than 700 graphic novels (covering all age levels) plus the shelving to hold them and furniture to create a reading area, total value more than $20,000. Librarians have to enter in person at ALA and be present to win.

If any of you will be attending, I'll be working at the special display booth, #1760, and I'll also be participating in several graphic novel discussion panels in the Graphic Novel & Gaming Pavilion in Exhibits. Look for Kat (that's me).

Unfortunately not, even though I'm right here in Louisiana. Way too expensive and not reimbursed by my employer. Sad Have fun, though!

Just to let anyone interested know: a Young Adult librarian from Shreveport, LA won the prize, which ended up worth more than $25K.
