The books selected by the committee are always awesome and each time I have been there the speech maker/authors are as good in person as on the page, This year was especially noteworthy for wonderful presentations from the authors. Michael Printz cared enough to listen to a young husband describe the dream job his wife wanted. Micheal advised him to send me to library school!!! I entered that fall to became one of the fortunate hundreds of Kansas librarians who was in a class taught by Michael. He gave the best "book talks" I have ever witnessed and he was a great advisor and mentor. I will always be grateful for the shove from Michael Prinz via the other guy - my husband of 44 years.
