Librarians like to have fun as much as anyone else, which is why our national association decided that this year the only conference venues it would entertain would be in a area that could offer sunshine, good food and entertainment. Members of our group were allowed to vote and Florida won hands down.
Our organization was fortunate to book a gorgeous lodge and spa in the Keys and what a good choice it was. Every amenity you could think of was offered in our hotel complex from full-body massage to hair and nail salon services. We had three restaurants to choose from that were located in our complex and had access to a shuttle bus that took us into town for shopping excursions.
Our evenings were spent in the art-deco designed cocktail lounge and if you were there, you would have seen a lot of librarians letting down their hair.
