After a long break of not posting...

Remember when summers were slow and you could get caught up on everything?  I don't know what happened to that, but this summer has been slammed.  We're doing deals with publishers on our ebook platform, we've got new vendors to announce, and all kinds of good stuff.  More on that in a later post.

But for now, I want to make sure you're all aware of the upcoming Califa Vendor Fair on August 30 at the beautiful library of Santa Clara University.  It's a great event we have every year - we bring together lots of vendors and give them each 40 minute segments to go really in depth about their product - it's a lot more than the quick demos you get when your head is spinning at ALA.  And there are other folks also watching the demo, and it's great to hear everyone's questions - someone invariably has a similar question that you do, so there are lots of good discussions going on.

And the best part?  It's FREE to staff of Califa member libraries (including parking, breakfast and lunch).  Non-Califa member library staff are $20, which covers the cost of food.

See you on August 30!
