When you attend library association meetings, what do you enjoy getting as
handouts (besides free books, of course? <g>). This is in addition to the
traditional handouts of catalogs, bookmarks, postcards. I assume it's
something portable, but ... what?

I have a reason for asking and will post it later. Also, private email is
fine.

Thanks!

I like pens and post-it notes. Both are very useful!

A good sized very sturdy canvas/fabric bag to carry all the stuff and
handouts and whatever, preferably with handles long enough to sling over
my shoulder when it gets heavy, but overall not so long as to drag on
the floor when carried in the hand by a short person (I'm still hoping
to reach 5'4" some day, but at my age it looks pretty hopeless...)

Hello. I like the book bags, pens, posters, and don't forget the
CANDY!!!!! Last year at BookExpo in Chicago, I came away with TONS of free
books, especially the last day! Better Homes & Gardens was giving away
almost their whole display! It was pandemonium! I also liked the free cds
I received, since I used to order them at my previous Library. Julie A.

Sarah, I have one of those that I bought from Avon a few years ago. It has
good handles, wheels on it, and a "lock" so it will stand up. I LOVE
IT!!!!! It is also very pretty, with roses all over it, and it holds A
LOT!!!!. I'm not sure if Avon still sells it, but you can check with your
local rep. Julie A. Roberts [removed]@rolling-meadows.lib.il.us

Martha Spencer mentioned her wonderful bag with wheels on it. I used to see
similar bags when I went to ABA, and to the Smith College Book Sale. I was
green with envy. Until I walked into a local travel store - and voila!

My bag isn't rose colored - it's black, with fold-down wheels, velcro and
carry handles (for when it's not in use.)

And I love mine, too!

I bring home freebies to my staff, pencils/pens/highlighters, Baker-Tayor
bags, LOVE any cloth tote bags. And I wouldn't take anything for the t-shirt
that Capstone Press gave out at TLA last spring with George Bush on it with a
caption of I think it was "The best thing I ever did was marry a librarian!"

I found I now have a collection of mugs that I use to hold pens, paper clips,
etc. plus a mug rack. Cute magnets are nice, they are all over my side of my
metal desk and file cabinet and at home.

Note pads are very useful, catchy bookmarks are nice too.

Between library conferences and quilt shows, I have more tote bags than I will ever use. I take tote bags, advance reading copies, and other goodies back and we do door prizes at staff meetings. I also include in the prizes a certificate to use the Director's reserved parking place on specified dates when I will be gone. Much prized!

At ALA last year the IRS had endless supplies of goodies. There are two most prized freebies of memory. The Chicka Chicka Boom Boom t-shirt - which my husband was offered money for by another parent at story time; and the Hogwarts School t-shirt and advance readers copy of Harry Potter number three at New Orleans ALA.

Also on the subject of quilt shows there is a big one going on in Phoenix during PLA. If you have any interest in joining the ALA ad hoc Quilter's round table mailing list, or joining us in our Saturday afternoon expedition to the show, please email me directly.

I like getting cloth bags--they make great prizes for the adult reading
club. I also have a car travel mug that I love. Seems to fit my car
better than most of the mugs I've paid for.

Thanks to all who answered on the list and privately re what librarians enjoy
receiving at meetings. Obviously, we're preparing for that very thing - The
Authors Studio (TAS) will have a booth at the April 2002 TX Library
Association meeting in Dallas - and the suggestions have sparked all kinds of
ideas for giveaways. So if any of you plan to attend TLA, be sure to visit
the TAS booth (we'll be right around the corner from Little Brown and
Booklist). We'll have catalogs (thin but packed with info) and any number of
other items for you to pick up.

Here's another idea I had while juggling lunch items from my office to
staff room on lower level...how about instead of one more canvas tote
bag...nylon or insulated lunch bags. They can be used for daily lunch, as
giveaways for "brown bag" lunch book discussions or other programs, or
(insulated bags) are useful for traveling with medications like insulin.
