VOLi.. HJ V - NUl·iB:D 4, !lEUL, 1962 There are all sorts and con:! itions of "conventions" and eaci1 one of us has our opinion of thel;}. Usually you can decide just what type of convention you want to attend and pick that one . Our I,rizona State Library lissociation annua 1 conventions are rather unique in that they offer something of most all you would want. The meeting in Tucson teis year proved that statement .
I know that a number of you l'[ere there because I either saw you at a distance and could do no more than wave to you or I was fortuna te and had a chance to talk a bit with you. f. number of you I met for the first t ir.le and did enjoy it so r.lUch. It was quite an accomplishment if everYO£le got to see all tile exhi!:>its and look over the new items on the narket, r,1eet a 11 our old friends and wake a nur.lber of new ones, attend tile neetings so that \'Ie know the worki nGS of our iissociation and get in three meals a day. Then in addition we had all t he very fine panels to listen to and meet the outstanding guests and visit with teem for a few r.linutes. Then, just to put a bit of icing on the cake, we tad excellent "e£ltertainnent" both Friday and Saturday.
Perhaps the nicest part of the meeting was seeing all "111y old friends and making new ones. This, to me, is the first reason for attending the ~nnual meeting. We all read about our librarians allover the State in the various publications, we note their contributions to Library service and all their accomplishments . Then "'hen you actually get to see tl1er.l, chat with thelil a minute, perhaps discuss mutual problems, all our hard \'Iorlc of the past year seer.1S to take on more mcnning and \Ole feel that it was not in vain that we put in all those extra hours.
Next year the Association will have their annual meeting in the Phoenix area . It is always the week [ollowing Easter, so start making your plans right now to reserve that time for a most rewarding week end .
