The American Library Association (ALA) annual conference returns to New Orleans, June 21-26, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center (MCC). This marks the second time since ALA was the first convention to return to the post-Katrina Crescent City in 2006 (annual was also held there in 2011). While the "Resilience in New Orleans: Rebuilding Libraries After Katrina" tour will visit libraries renovated or constructed since the storm, and the Sustainability Round Table hearkens back to that difficult period of the city's history in its panel on "The Rising Tide: How Libraries Sustain a Planet in Crisis," the conference schedule in general primarily grapples with the present and prepares for the future.
