Good CLENE Conversation

Once again, CLENE events at ALA were sizzling. The pre-conference workshops on Friday were filled to capacity and the Training Showcase on Sunday afternoon was the place to be. In between sipping lemonade and munching pretzels, I talked myself hoarse in two hours of conversation with the steady flow of library trainers and supervisors. What a dynamic subset of the library world—so full of ideas and energy.
