ALAANNUAL.ORG | #ALAAC15 3 ALA PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

Welcome to San Francisco and 2015 ALA Annual Conference where we’ll make valuable connections with one another as we imagine and prepare for the libraries of the future, and take inspiration from the array of formal and informal learning opportunities and speakers.

I’m looking forward to so much, but if I have to pick a few personal highlights, here they are.

Connecting with librarians and library staff from all types of libraries around the world, and learning how we can support one another as we build on opportunities and address our shared challenges.

Introducing “cultural powerhouse” Sarah Lewis at my President’s Program on Sunday afternoon after the ALA Awards presentations.

Getting updated on new and favorite technologies, products, and services with the vendors in the exhibits, and having the chance to see new books and meet so many of their authors.

Honoring incoming President Sari Feldman, incoming President-Elect Julie Todaro, Executive Board members, and Division Presidents-Elect at the Inaugural Brunch on Tuesday.

Hearing about my colleagues’ latest innovations and passions in programs like the Conversation Starters and Ignite sessions, and laughing together at fun events like the Library Games and ALAplay.

Staying on top of things with the great mobile app at www.alaannual.org/mobile-app, discovering how iBeacon technology can help me get more out of my experience by meeting me where I am in the convention center, and by tracking #alaac15.

It’s been an honor to serve as your President this year and to learn more about the many ways we make libraries better through well-informed work. I’m inspired by how ALA helps us stand strong in our commitment to vibrant school, public, academic, and special libraries for all communities, by the dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and by the potential of the three current strategic directions: Advocacy, Information Policy, and Professional & Leadership Development. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion, and here’s to a great conference. Have fun! ALA PRESIDENT'S WELCOME

Courtney L. Young ALA President, 2014–15

4 2015 ALA ANNUAL CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION MAYOR’S WELCOME LETTER MAYOR'S WELCOME LETTER

GREETINGS FROM THE MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO

On behalf of the City and County of San Francisco, it is with great pleasure that I welcome the American Library Association. San Francisco is one of the top literary cities in the country. Our San Francisco Public Library system – with its welcoming and beautiful Main Library and 27 branch libraries throughout the City – attests to our residents’ love of reading, community, technology and education.

Each of our City’s branch libraries reflects the community it serves. Within the last decade, these libraries have undergone a renaissance, with 24 branches recently rebuilt or renovated through our Branch Library Improvement Program. While visiting the welcoming Main Library, be sure to stop by the new youth-designed haven for teens on the Second Floor. The Mix at SFPL offers state-of-the-art digital technology, including an audio studio, video production studio, a maker space and more. The Bridge at Main, the recently opened 5th Floor learning center, supports technology and learning including the Job Seekers Lab, computer training, adult literacy, financial literacy and the Veterans Resource Center.

As you make your way through our City by the Bay, feel free to enjoy our fabulous downtown and amazing waterfront. With several of the finest hotels in the world, exquisite dining, entertainment opportunities and major attractions in surrounding communities, San Francisco has something for everyone. I hope you will allow yourselves an opportunity to explore our multicultural neighborhoods, and make sure you take a ride on our world-famous cable cars! San Francisco extends best wishes for an enjoyable and memorable time in our City. Congratulations to the American Library Association and all the organizers who contributed to making this event a true success. Best wishes for a productive and fruitful conference!

With warmest regards,

Edwin M. Lee Mayor

Roberta A. Kaplan

“Robbie Kaplan has been involved in some of the most important legal developments of recent years,” notes The Financial Times. Hear how Roberta A. Kaplan — with the help of a band of supporters–extended equal rights and made America a more democratic nation. Kaplan will offer insights into how the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was defeated, how laws get overturned, and how change is made legally. When Edie Windsor called Roberta Kaplan to take on the case that would bring down DOMA, Kaplan did not hesitate as gay advocates and other lawyers had. In Windsor, the nation's highest court ruled that a key provision of DOMA violated the U.S. Constitution by barring legally married same-sex couples from enjoying the wide-ranging benefits of marriage conferred under federal law. Kaplan’s forthcoming book, Then Comes Marriage: United States v. Windsor and the Defeat of DOMA (Norton, Fall 2015), will offer a complete account of the success. Described as a “litigation superstar,” a “powerhouse corporate litigator” and a “pressure junkie” who “thrives on looking at the big picture,” Kaplan is a partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison and an adjunct professor of law at Columbia Law School, and is currently litigating the case against Mississippi’s gay marriage ban. Selected as one of “The 100 Most Influential Lawyers,” as well as a 2013 “Litigator of the Year” byThe American Lawyer, the 2013 “Lawyer of the Year” by Above The Law and the 2014 “Most Innovative Lawyer of The Year” by The Financial Times, she was ranked as number 5 in this year's "Politico 50."

ALAANNUAL.ORG | #ALAAC15 9 ALA AWARDS PRESENTATION AND PRESIDENT’S PROGRAM

Sunday, June 28 • 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm MCC - Esplanade 305

Join ALA President Courtney L. Young to celebrate the award winners and her featured speaker Sarah Lewis. Sarah Lewis

“Sarah Lewis is applying her turbocharged intellect to bridging the gap between art and social policy,” says Vogue magazine. Join ALA President Courtney L. Young to welcome art historian, critic, writer, and “cultural powerhouse” Lewis as she celebrates creativity, focusing on how it can lead us through fear and failure to ultimate success. In our pursuit of success and mastery, is it actually our near wins that push us forward and our failures that become the process? “Embrace the Near Win” was selected as one of TED Talks’ 2014 Collection of the Most Powerful Talks. In it, as in her acclaimed debut Photo Annie Leibovitz Photo book The Rise: Creativity, the Gift of Failure and the Search for Mastery (described by the New York Times as “strikingly original”), Lewis urges her audience to consider the role of the almost-failure in our own lives. “Coming close to what you thought you wanted can help you attain what you never dreamed you could,” she says. She came to understand that what really motivates us is “the unfinished” and that mastery is in the reaching rather than the arriving when, at her first museum job, she noticed that not every work by an artist she was studying was a total masterpiece. Lewis has served on President Obama’s Arts Policy Committee, been selected for Oprah’s “Power List,” and is a Du Bois Fellow at Harvard University. She is also an active curator, having held positions at both the Tate Modern and The Museum of Modern Art. Her writing on contem- porary art has been published extensively, and her fresh perspectives on the dialogue between culture, history, and identity have made her central to these conversations.

Tuesday, June 30 • 9:30 am – 11:00 am MCC - Esplanade 305

The Closing General Session is a not-to-miss event, where current ALA President Courtney L. Young will pass the gavel to the CLOSING GENERAL SESSION & INAUGURAL BRUNCH 2015–16 ALA President Sari Feldman and introduce new Division Presidents. An exciting conversation with Robbie Robertson and David Shannon will close out the conference.The Closing General Session will be immediately followed by the elegant Inaugural Brunch. Robbie Robertson and David Shannon

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Robbie Robertson and Caldecott Honor-winner (No, David!) David Shannon will talk about their new book, Hiawatha and the Peacemaker (September 2015). Written in a lyrical voice and paired with arresting oil paintings, the book is bound to both fascinate and educate your young students and patrons about Native American history. Robertson was the lead guitarist and primary songwriter of the legendary musical group The Band. Born of Mohawk and Cayuga descent, he learned the story of Hiawatha and his spiritual guide, the Peacemaker, as part of the Iroquois oral tradition. Hiawatha was a strong and articulate Mohawk chosen to translate the Peacemaker’s message of unity for the five warring Iroquois nations during the 14th century. This message not only united the tribes but also forever changed how the Iroquois governed themselves—a blueprint for democracy that would later inspire the authors of the U.S. Constitution. Shannon is the internationally-acclaimed illustrator of numerous bestselling books for children, and his illustrations have appeared in a wide variety of publications including The New York Times, Time, and Rolling Stone.

Haifaa al-Mansour Saturday, June 27 • 10:30 am – 11:30 am

Outspoken, smart, and media-savvy, award-winning Saudi Arabian film director and screenwriter Haifaa al-Mansour adds ALA to a long list of high-profile appearances, including being interviewed by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show and Dave Eggers for McSweeney’s journal Wholphin. Winner of an EDA Female Focus Award, al-Mansour’s first feature-length film Wadjda also won the Best International Feature Audience Award at the Los Angeles Film Festival, among other awards, and is the first feature- length movie filmed entirely in Saudi Arabia, the first feature filmed by a female Saudi Arabian director, and the first Saudi Arabian film submitted for the Best Foreign Language Oscar. The film is the basis of al-Mansour’s middle-grade (and debut) novel The Green Bicycle, about a spunky and AUDITORIUM SPEAKER SERIES AUDITORIUM sly eleven-year-old, who constantly pushes the boundaries of what's considered proper — going out without a headscarf, wearing Converse sneakers to school, and speaking with boys in public places. The story of her attempt to get a bicycle, considered improper for girls to ride, unfolds against the shifting social attitudes of the Middle East, and explores gender roles, conformity, and the importance of family. See p. 22 for details about the screening of Wadjda as part of "Now Showing @ ALA." The daughter of a poet, al-Mansour studied comparative literature in Cairo and later attended film school in Australia. Her 2005 documentaryWomen Without Shadows speaks to the hidden lives of women in Arab States of the Persian Gulf and was shown at 17 international festivals, received the Golden Dagger for Best Documentary in the Muscat Film Festival, and got a special jury mention in the fourth Arab Film Festival in Rotterdam. Her next film, A Storm in the Stars, about Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and starring Elle Fanning, is set to release in 2016.

Nick Offerman Saturday, June 27 • 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm

Actor, author, humorist, and woodworker Nick Offerman — best known for his role as Ron Swanson on NBC's Parks and Recreation — promises you plenty of laughter as well as a special library connection. As a lifelong reader coming from a family of librarians, he credits his aunt, a local history librarian, with encouraging his love of reading. Offerman is the author of the New York Times bestseller Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man's Fundamentals for Delicious Living and the forthcoming Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America’s Gutsiest Troublemakers

Photo Emily Shur Photo (Dutton, May 2015). He acted with Chicago theatre companies, worked as a fight choreographer and master carpenter at Steppenwolf Theatre Company, and has appeared in numerous films. Prior to Parks and Recreation, for which he received the Television Critics Award for Individual Achievement in Comedy, his most prominent role was as factory worker and Benny-Lopez-love-interest Randy McGee on George Lopez. In 2007, he co-starred in the Comedy Central series American Body Shop. Other TV appearances include as a plumber on Will & Grace, as a hobo on The King of Queens, in 24, and in an episode of The West Wing. You can look forward to a humor-filled hour if the introduction on Offerman’s professional wood- shop’s website is any indication: “We like to carve spoons, chainsaw stumps, plank canoes, keep our chisels sharp with stones, build pinball machines and fine furniture. From refined modern designs to enormous Middle-Earth masterpieces, we build it all while smiling a lot.” (And by the way, his Aunt Michele Houchens still works at the Three Rivers Public Library in Minooka, Illinois, where his sister Laurie is Executive Director.)

A writer named "1 of 20 people in their twenties who will make a difference" in Harper's Bazaar, featured in the New York Times Magazine as one of "30 under 30" people to watch, and called one of the "15 Gutsiest Women of the Year" by Jane Magazine is definitely one not to miss. Edwidge Danticat’s first novel, Breath, Eyes, Memory, was also an Oprah's Book Club Selection, and her second book, the story collection Krik? Krak! made her the young- est National Book Award nominee ever. Born in Haiti, Danticat immi- grated to a Haitian American neighborhood in Brooklyn at age 12. Her disorientation in her new surroundings saw her turn to literature for solace, and two years later she published her first writing in English in a citywide magazine written by teenagers. “Writing for New Youth Connections had given me a voice. My silence was destroyed completely, indefinitely.”

Prominent themes in her writing include national identity, mother-daughter relationships, and AUDITORIUM SPEAKER SERIES diasporic politics, and she is a strong advocate for issues affecting Haitians abroad and at home. Her work has been translated into many languages, and her numerous awards include a Pushcart Short Story Prize, The National Book Critics Circle Award, the American Book Award, a Langston Hughes Medal, and a MacArthur Fellowship, and fiction awards from Essence and Seventeen magazines. Her most recent novel, Claire of the Sea Light, was shortlisted for ALA’s 2014 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. The poignant and tender picture book Mama’s Nightingale: A Story of Immigration and Separation (forthcoming September 2015) highlights the connective and transformative power of words and stories.

Sonia Manzano Monday, June 29 • 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

One of America’s “most influential Hispanics” according to People en Español, Sonia Manzano — best known as the Emmy Award–winning actor who defined the role of Maria on Sesame Street — will inspire you with her story. She has won fifteen Emmy Awards for her television writing, was twice nominated for an Emmy Award as best performer in a children’s series, and has been recognized by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in Washington, D.C. She is the author of the Pura Belpré Honor Book The Revolution of Evelyn Serrano, which was a Kirkus Reviews Best Children’s Book of 2012 and hailed in a starred review in Booklist as a “wry . . . moving” novel. Becoming Maria, Manzano’s latest book, is her coming-of-age memoir, the remarkable story of a girl plunged into a world she never expected. It’s the story of dreams — some of them night- mares, others visions of romance and escape. Set in the Bronx in the 1950s, it’s the tale of a family that is loving and troubled, and of the child who grew up to become a TV star. Sonia’s creative drive keeps her afloat despite the turbulence of her life and times — including the cramped, colorful world of her Latino neighborhood and an abusive and alcoholic father. Spiced with Nuyorican culture, heartache, and humor, the memoir paints a revealing portrait of a girl’s resilience as she grows up to become an inspiration to millions.
