Re: ALA Summer Conference in Chicago

I have always found that it is cheaper to stay in non-conference hotel in =
the suburbs and rent a car than to stay in a conference hotel with no car. =
 This year my wife is going, so I don't have to worry about parking.  =
She'll drop me off and then have the car to do what she wants to do.  =
Maybe she'll run into your husband at a museum.

Dear LM_Netters,

Have any of you ever gone to a national library conference before?  I was
shocked to see the prices of the hotels in February's American Libraries =
on
page 73.  I guess I really am just a little ole country girl.

Have any of you ever gone alone to such a conference?  I go to our state
conferences with other librarians but don't know anyone going to the
national conference.  I wonder if I should bring my husband.  The problem
with that is he wouldn't be interested in going to the workshops.  He'd be
wanting me to skip out and go to the Art Institute and Field Museum or a
Cubs game instead.  I want to attend as many workshops as possible and =
he'd
be a drag. (It may sound as if I don't love him, but I do, a lot. Ha!)
