I'm making a note here, huge success

[emilytheslayer]

Ok, so. I'm going somewhere with this, stay with me. A big part of why I became a teen librarian* is because I figured I'm not someone who's ever going to change the world in a big way. I'm not likely to ever run for office or cure any diseases or solve world hunger or anything like that. I thought that I could probably change the world in smaller

This year's con was fantastic! The programming was great and it overall felt very welcoming. I cannot wait for whatever next year brings.

And I'm glad to have met you, however briefly, on the couch Thursday night. (aka @tldegray)

Thank you for saying so!

We had a sign on all of the bathroom doors on the main floor letting our attendees know that the Con Suite bathroom was gender neutral. Such a simple thing, but it lets non-binary people know that a. we know they exist and b. we want them to feel welcome. It's so small, but for someone who hasn't felt welcomed at a con before, that's huge**.

That was one of the things that popped out when I was there. I was very glad to see it.

I'm really glad. We've apparently been doing this for a couple of years now, but it wasn't publicized as much as we did this year.

Yay!

PS you are so not alone in heading to library school at least partially because of Giles. Just sayin'. <3

Like I said, it's not the worst reason I've ever made a decision. :)

I'm really happy you're finding it fulfilling. It's a good feeling to get involved with something you're passionate about.

[emilytheslayer]

Yeah!

Quick takes!
