Dallas

Today I visited many libraries before the Midwinter Conference officially started. My first stop was the Central Library in downtown Dallas. I went to the Highland Hills Branch, Oak Lawn and Lakewood Branches, too. I also went to the Highland Park Library, as well. It is always really interesting to see different libraries. One thing that surprised me about the libraries here, the ones I saw so far, there doesn't seem to be a big ereader push or presence. At my libraries back home, downloadable ebooks are all the rage. Folks got them for Christmas and now everyone is in, wanting to download books from the library. We're working our way through this new world. I saw new world because there's a lot of change still going on. Publishers and libraries aren't really sure yet how we're all going to work together and things change weekly. Maybe a lot of people want to wait until things get settled a little more before addressing it. Not sure, but it was really neat to see different libraries today!
