The American Library Association Midwinter Meeting‘s set for January 20-24 at the Dallas Convention Center, so you know what that means: Thousands of librarians, publishers and authors will be checking out the city for a few days. Perhaps the city can find someone amongst the bunch to lead the Dallas Public Library system, for which no director’s yet been chosen out of the last-we-looked stack of three finalists. Though, I do see interim director Corinne Hill’s scheduled to give a talk titled
“Dallas Public Library on Re-imagining the Public Library in a Post-Recession Economy.” And Lisa Loeb’s coming home to give the “Wrap Up Rev Up Celebration.”
Anyway. Whilst tooling around the ALA’s website I espied a link directing convention-goers to a day-by-day itinerary specially prepared for the confab’s attendees. And since we occasionally take a look at what outsiders recommend, I thought we’d browse the insiders’ look-see at the city’s must-to-do’s — and by insiders, I mean a visitors bureau run by a guy who lives in Southlake. Still. Look below. But, spoiler alert: Southfork and NorthPark are on there (and the Spaghetti Warehouse!), but, so sorry, Oak Cliff. You too, Fair Park.
