Next week we’re off to sunny Austin for the Texas Library Association annual conference! Gene and I will be chilling at the Unshelved booth #2842, with conference specials on selected items from our store. We will also have our conference-only signed and numbered limited edition print Desk Duty, just $40 while supplies last. Make sure you stop by early to get your free Intellectual Freedom Fighter badge ribbon. And if you bring an Unshelved newbie to the booth, Bill will draw you a custom “Spread the Love” postcard as a thank-you!

Oh, and one more thing - At booth #2841 is the Great Graphic Novel Giveaway! Your library could win a whole graphic novel section, including furniture, fixtures, and 700 graphic novels selected and donated by Diamond and Brodart. And the winner will be picked at 9:30am Friday morning by none other than our own Gene Ambaum!
