Hi Roy!
While you're recovering from mid-winter, how did it go? What was the buzz like? How were the stickers received/displayed??
Thanks again so much for being the "giver of swag and hope".

Amanda,You or anyone else who wants to help distribute the stickers can drop by the OCLC booth in the Exhibit Hall and pick up a sheet. I will alert them that some people will be doing this. Thanks,RoyAmanda / User:AmandaRR123It's wonderful to see this coming together for Midwinter!
Best,
Roy, when you say that you expect to recruit people you know to help distribute items and are fairly well equipped for Boston, do you mean that you are not looking for any additional librarians to volunteer? I might have some time, and I take it that Sara might as well.

I have the stickers that Jake kindly had made, and they will be available at the OCLC and National Library of Medicine booths in the exhibit hall, and I expect to also recruit people I know to help me distribute them more widely. Merrilee also gave me a slug of badge ribbons that she made that say "I edit Wikipedia". So I think I'm fairly well equipped for Boston. Thanks,
Roy
