Well, the conference is over. I have to say this has been the best PLA I've attended. All of the sessions I attended ranged from good to excellent, and the presentation skills were much higher than in previous years. Topics I found particularly interesting included immigration issues, collection development for LGBT populations within a conservative community, coping with law enforcement requests, management/union relations, handling difficult customers, the library's role in disaster preparedness, and conflict resolution. Speakers included Warren Graham and Pat Wagner, both of whom have been guest speakers at OCL in past years.
I also took a quick tour of the Minneapolis Public Library and visited the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and saw "Jane Eyre" at the Guthrie Theater. The weather was occasionally cold and windy, but free of rain or snow, which was good, since I spent a lot of hours walking around the city and taking pictures of some of the sights for eventual posting on Flickr.
