Texas Library Association Annual Conference

I'll not be at TLA this year. I'll miss seeing everybody and visiting with folks from all across Texas. Let me know how the TRGCC meeting goes. However, the LPI will have a booth there. My co-workers will be at booth 3043. Their exhibit displays a Youth Services and Children's program for public and school libraries named, "Explore! Fun with Science". Stop by the booth and tell them "Hi." Give them some good numbers to report to NASA. We have been trying for years to convince NASA that public libraries are educational institutions. All the education programs from NASA have excluded libraries and focused on the classroom. We have tried to let them know that the field of education outside the classroom is important also. They are srtarting to understand the leverage libraires have.
