Well! We've certainly learned our lesson for skipping the Illinois Library Association's Annual Conference! What did we miss? Only the first ever "Style from the Stacks" fashion show, featuring designs inspired by and made from "library stuff" (all created and modeled by the librarians).
Check out Sheree K's Flickr and monkeymoxie's YouTube for continuing coverage. Can't wait to see what those kooky librarians come up with next year ...
