Librarian's realize that Charlaine will be at ALA ( that's their annual meeting)

From Early Word Blog

I was browsing the ALA program listings, when I discovered, somewhat buried in a list of panelists, the name Charlaine Harris. Yep; the author of the Sookie Stackhouse series (the basis for HBO’s hit True Blood) is on the paranormal panel. Below is the program description.

Sunday 10:30 am – 12:00 pm 74b

Come discuss best practices for helping patrons find paranormal materials they can really
sink their teeth into. This program focuses on understanding the appeal of the genre
