Danny Goes to the American Library Association Conference
Danny the Dragon made his first major public appearance last month at the American Library Association’s annual conference displayed at the Independent Book Publishers booth!
As a member of the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), I was able to send them a copy of Danny the Dragon to be included in their vendor booth at the conference.
The following is IBPA’s summary of the event.
More than 12,400 librarians attended the American Library Association’s annual conference in New Orleans from June 21 to 25, 20018. This was in addition to the more than 5,100 exhibitors.
IBPA’s cooperative booth had an impressive footprint on the show floor (40’ x 10’), and the professional signage and shelving made a proud showroom for the more than 200 books from IBPA’s publisher members.
IBPA’s built-out booth with professional signage – and members’ books – looked polished and well-presented.
Danny the Dragon was front and center, cover facing out, with the other children’s picture books. (Look for Danny in the picture on the left.)
We are hoping that when librarians review the catalogue that lists all the books on the IBPA display, – we’ll get orders. Our wish is that children all over the United States and Canada will find Danny the Dragon in their libraries, and enjoy his story.
