While I contemplate my selection for Poetry Friday (the round-up takes place at Whimsy Books, by the way), I direct you to a funny post at a new (to me) blog called Derfwad Manor. To wit, "A Shout Out to All the Librarians."

You do not have to be a member of NCTE to register for ALAN Workshop. The Workshop is from 8 am to 4 pm on Mon and Tues and you receive about 40 free books!
And there is a free cocktail party on Sunday evening at the Marriott Marquis at 6 pm for all ALAN Workshop participants. You can meet the authors at this party...

Hey, Sarah. 40 free books? I'm there. I'm lucky to be part of a panel on blogging, at NCTE. Can't wait! I'll make a post out of these comments soon.
