Keep an eye on this space, as exciting things are coming this weekend! YES, it is time again for the American Library Association’s Midwinter Meeting, this time in San Diego, California, and that means that the Rainbow Project committee have been hard at work reading through our nominations in order to vote over this coming weekend!
As you may or may not know, our meetings are OPEN to the public, so if you would like to see what goes on and listen in to our discussions, feel free to join us! We’d love to have you! We are meeting at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel (number 2 on the ALA Map) in Cobalt Room 504. We meet on Saturday, January 8 from 1:30 – 5:30, and Sunday, January 9 from 10:30 – noon, and again from 1:30 – 5:30, with breaks inbetween.
We will also have a presence at the SRRT All Committee Meeting on Saturday, January 8 at 8 a.m. at the Hilton Bayfront, Sapphire H.
