PRESIDENT’S WELCOME
Welcome, attendees, exhibitors, and friends to the
2016 ALA Annual Conference and Exhibition. I’m so
pleased that you’re joining us from all types of libraries and related organizations throughout the U.S. and
more than 40 other countries. I look forward to connecting with you
to make the most of this conference and to continue exploring how we can best meet the
needs of all our communities and users through the lens of “Libraries Transform.”
More than 2,600 libraries have already joined ALA’s national “Libraries Transform” campaign; we look forward to hearing from those represented here in Orlando and to helping
more of you get involved. As we prepare for the library of the future, the transformation-related presentations, workshops,
speakers, sessions, and discussions will be especially useful. Developed with the ALA Center for the Future of Libraries, the
Library of the Future sessions explore emerging trends and innovations with experts from a variety of fields and professions.
Additional future-focused programming is included in the Knight Foundation’s “Knight News Challenge Libraries” series. Look
for more information on the Libraries Transform pages, 22–23.
ALA’s three strategic directions (advocacy, information policy, and professional and leadership development) lend structure
to important content throughout the conference. Among the more than 500 sessions and programs, I’m delighted to see the
increasing number of peer-to-peer and informal learning opportunities that supplement our more formal learning.
Equity, diversity, inclusion, and access are critical to a strong future for libraries. See pages 24–28 for recommendations from
the Committee on Diversity, which encourage us to select and actively participate in sessions that can help us address these
issues as a profession and in our home institutions and organizations. Don’t forget to visit the new Diversity Pavilion in the
exhibits where you’ll find exhibitors with books, products, and services to help you meet the needs of all communities.
A special personal highlight will be introducing actress and immigration reform advocate Diane Guerrero at my President’s
Program on Sunday afternoon after the ALA Awards Presentations. America’s libraries have advanced the American Dream
by providing services and resources that welcome and support all immigrants, and Guerrero’s personal story is a powerful
reminder of the library’s essential role in creating individual opportunity and community progress.
You won’t want to miss any of the featured speakers, starting on a high note with Michael Eric Dyson at the Opening General
Session on Friday. The lineup of Auditorium, Division Presidents’ Program, and other speakers covers a fascinating range of
experiences and expertise. An added highlight is the special session marking the 50th anniversary of the National Endowment
for the Humanities, featuring US Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga) and introduced by NEH Chairman William D. Adams.
PRESIDENT’S WELCOME
The vast number of book- and author-related events is as tempting as ever, including the celebrations of many ALA book and
media awards. With more than 900 exhibitors and dozens of events and activities, don’t miss visiting the exhibits to learn about
new titles, products, services, and technologies. This is an important part of your conference experience. Dozens of authors will
also spend time in the exhibit hall, including on the live stages.

Throughout the conference, I’ll be tracking #alaac16 on Twitter and tweeting @sarifeldman. Please join me and be part of the
conversation. This year we are particularly keen on the number 140 since it marks the anniversary of 140 years of ALA. I also
encourage you to stay connected with the handy mobile app at alaannual.org/mobile-app. If you haven’t tried it already, do
some experimenting with iBeacon (page 41) to get even more out of your conference experience.
Wrapping up the conference at the Inaugural Brunch on Tuesday, it will be my privilege to honor incoming ALA President Julie
Todaro, the incoming President-Elect Jim Neal, Executive Board members, and Division Presidents-Elect. I’ve been honored
to serve as your President and to learn more about the many ways Libraries Transform. I look forward to continuing our work
together and to seeing you at ALA conferences and events.

OPENING GENERAL SESSION/
RIBBON CUTTING
OCCC - Chapin Theater (W320)
MICHAEL ERIC DYSON
Named by Essence magazine as one of the 50 most inspiring African
Americans in the U.S., Michael Eric Dyson provides some of the most
significant commentary on contemporary social and intellectual thought,
interwoven with cultural criticism, race theory, religion, philosophical
reflection and gender studies. Taking on tough and controversial issues,
Dyson—one of the nation’s most renowned public intellectuals—is the
author of 17 books including the American Book Award-winning Come
Hell or High Water: Hurricane Katrina and the Color of Disaster, a New
York Times op-ed contributor, an MSNBC political analyst, and former
host of NPR’s The Michael Eric Dyson Show. His most recent book, The
Black Presidency: Barack Obama and the Politics of Race in America, is
provoking wide and engaged discussion.
Dyson, a Georgetown University professor, bridges gaps between generations, connecting civil
rights identity to hip-hop culture, and forging links between older and younger Americans, especially black Americans. As a cutting-edge historian, he reaches beyond race, addressing the
universal commonality of American concern. Other recent topics have included racial profiling
and its impact on black America, and Dr. King for the 21st Century. He was recommended by
the ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, and will give the conference a thoughtprovoking start.

ALA AWARDS PRESENTATION & PRESIDENT’S PROGRAM
Sunday, June 26 • 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm
Well known as an actress on the hit shows Orange is the New Black and
Jane the Virgin, Guerrero also volunteers with the nonprofit Immigrant
Legal Resource Center and in 2015 was named a White House
Ambassador for Citizenship and Naturalization. An outspoken advocate
for commonsense, comprehensive immigration reform, Guerrero was
taken in by other Colombian families in Boston when she was 14 after
the rest of her family was deported without warning to Colombia. She
has worked with Immigrant Legal Resource Center and Mi Familia Vota, a
nonpartisan Latino civic engagement organization, to promote citizenship
and voter registration.
Guerrero, who has a degree in political science and communication as well as studying vocal
music, has appeared on numerous TV series and in feature films. In 2015, Variety named her
one of the top 10 Latina actresses to watch, and she received a Screen Actors Guild award for
her role as Maritza Ramos on the award-winning Netflix series, Orange is the New Black. Her
memoir, In the Country We Love: My Family Divided, was recently published by Henry Holt & Co.

CLOSING GENERAL SESSION & INAUGURAL BRUNCH

The Closing General Session is a not-to-miss event, where current ALA
President Sari Feldman will pass the gavel to the 2016–2017 ALA
President Julie Todaro and introduce the new ALA Division Presidents.
Jamie Lee Curtis will close out the conference as its final speaker. The
Closing General Session will be immediately followed by the elegant
Inaugural Brunch.

Jamie Lee Curtis is an award-winning actress and New York Times bestselling children’s author. A Golden Globe and BAFTA Award winner, Curtis
has starred in many films including True Lies, A Fish Called Wanda,
Trading Places, and Halloween. Most recently, she returned to her horror roots as a lead in the
TV series Scream Queens, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination.
Curtis works with illustrator Laura Cornell on all her children’s books, which address core childhood subjects and life lessons in a playful, accessible way. She was inspired to write the first
one, When I Was Little: A Four-Year Old’s Memoir of Her Youth, by her then-four-year-old daughter’s boast that she was no longer “little.” Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born is a celebration of adoption and the start of a new family, inspired by the adoption of her own two children.
Her other titles include the New York Times bestseller Today I Feel Silly, and Other Moods That
Make My Day. Curtis and Cornell’s next book, This Is Me: The Story of Who We Are and Where
We Came From (Workman, September 2016), brings her whimsical verse to the subject of
immigration and identity. In other writing activities, she blogs for The Huffington Post. She is a
staunch supporter of children’s hospitals and their advocacy efforts, and is also involved in the
work of the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation.

MARGARET ATWOOD
Saturday, June 25 • 10:30 am – 11:30 am
Photo © Liam Sharp
Margaret Atwood is the award-winning author of more than 40 books of fiction, poetry, children’s literature, and critical essays, including The Handmaid’s Tale, the Booker Prize-winning
The Blind Assassin, The Heart Goes Last, and the MaddAddam trilogy that began with the
Man-Booker prize-nominated Oryx and Crake, continued with The Year of the Flood, and ended
with MaddAddam. Her forthcoming book, The Tempest, (October 2016) is part of the Hogarth
Shakespeare project that sees Shakespeare’s works retold by acclaimed and bestselling novelists of today. Atwood has consistently named William Shakespeare as one of the most important influences on her own work. Her first encounters with him took place in the 1950s at her
Toronto high school. “The Tempest is, in some ways, an early multi-media musical,” she says.
“If Shakespeare were working today he’d be using every special effect technology now makes
available. But The Tempest is especially intriguing because of the many questions it leaves
unanswered. What a strenuous pleasure it has been to wrestle with it!”
Atwood’s work has been published in more than 40 languages, including Farsi, Japanese,
Turkish, Finnish, Korean, Icelandic, and Estonian, and she has won many international awards.
She has served as President of the Writers’ Union of Canada, President of the Canadian Centre
(English Speaking) of PEN International, is a current Vice-President of PEN International, and
has also worked as a cartoonist, illustrator, librettist, playwright, and puppeteer.

Remarkable teen entrepreneur and activist Maya Penn’s TEDWomen Talk has been viewed
more than 1,200,000 million times (and is one of the top 15 TEDWomen Talks of all time). She
has already given three TED Talks, created her own eco-friendly fashion line, developed animated films, is an award-winning philanthropist, a girls’ rights and environmental activist, and
an artist, coder, illustrator, and writer. She is the CEO of Maya’s Ideas, a company she started
in 2008 when she was just eight years old; 10-20% of the profits go to local and global charities
and environmental organizations. Her nonprofit, Maya’s Ideas 4 The Planet, contributes to girls
in developing countries. She also helps girls pursue their passions in technology and STEM
fields. “At four years old, my dad showed me how to take apart a computer and put it back
together again. That started my love for technology,” she says. “I’ve been drawing ever since I
could hold a crayon. . . . My mom taught me how to sew.”

BRAD MELTZER

Sunday, June 26 • 10:30 am – 11:30 am
Nonfiction, suspense novels for adults, children’s books, comic books, TV shows, and 2016
Honorary Chair of ALA’s Preservation Week—the multi-talented New York Times bestselling
author Brad Meltzer does them all and more. A core belief underpins and runs through each
of his projects: ordinary people change the world. He was recently added
by The Hollywood Reporter to their list of Hollywood’s 25 Most Powerful
Authors, and his television work includes hosting the History Channel
shows Brad Meltzer’s Decoded and Lost History, and co-creating Jack
and Bobby.
Heroes are important to Meltzer, and he has been inspired by wanting
his own children to have better heroes to look up to as he encourages
them to dream big, one great role model at a time. His collectible picture
book biography series Ordinary People Change the World carries the message that we can all be heroes. His newest illustrated children’s books
include I Am Amelia Earhart and I Am Abraham Lincoln (to be followed
later this year by Lucille Ball and Helen Keller). Meltzer’s comic books
include Justice League of America, for which he won the Eisner Award.
His suspense novels for adults include the latest political thriller, The
President’s Shadow. His newest nonfiction is History Decoded: The 10
Greatest Conspiracies of All Time. Based on his wide-ranging knowledge
and research, the Department of Homeland Security recruited Meltzer to
brainstorm different ways that terrorists might attack the US. His books
have spent over a year on bestseller lists, and have been translated into
more than 25 languages, from Hebrew to Bulgarian.

JAZZ JENNINGS
Monday, June 27 • 8:30 am – 9:30 am
Jazz Jennings is one of the youngest and most prominent voices in the
national discussion about gender identity. At the age of five and with the
support of her parents, Jennings transitioned to life as a girl. A year later,
her first Barbara Walters interview aired, at a time when the public was
much less knowledgeable or accepting of the transgender community.
This groundbreaking interview was followed over the years by other highprofile interviews, a documentary, the launch of her YouTube channel, a
picture book, and her own reality TV series—I Am Jazz—making her one
of the most recognizable activists for transgender teens, children, and
adults. In her memoir, Being Jazz: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen, (June,
2016), Jennings reflects on these very public experiences and how they
have helped shape mainstream attitudes toward the transgender community. She has faced
challenges, bullying, discrimination, and rejection, yet perseveres as she educates others
about her life as a transgender teen and learns to navigate the physical, social, and emotional
upheavals of adolescence—particularly high school—complicated by the unique challenges of
being transgender. Throughout, her family has supported her.
Jennings, who hosts a series of videos about her life on YouTube, was named to Time’s Most
Influential Teens list two years in a row, was one of Huffington Post’s 14 Most Fearless Teens,
and was the youngest person ever featured on Out’s Out100, as well as on Advocate’s 40
Under 40 list. In 2014, she was named a Human Rights Campaign Youth Ambassador and
received LogoTV’s Youth Trailblazer Award.

Monday, June 27 • 10:30 am – 11:30 am
Actress, author, talk show host, activist, and philanthropist Holly Robinson
Peete has devoted her life and career to autism awareness. Most recently
she has co-authored the young adult novel Same But Different: Teen Life
on the Autism Express with her 18-year-old twins Ryan Elizabeth and RJ,
who join their mother in this Auditorium Speaker program. Through alternating fictional narratives based on their own lives, Ryan Elizabeth and
RJ, who has autism, reveal honestly what it means to be a teen living with
autism, and the book addresses challenges and triumphs as well as the
effects on family, school, friends, and life. Same But Different explores
the funny, painful, and unexpected aspects of teen autism while daring
to address issues not usually talked about, underscoring tolerance, love,
and the understanding that everybody’s unique drumbeat is worth dancing to.
Since 2000, when Peete learned of RJ’s autism diagnosis, she has worked tirelessly to help
families everywhere who are raising children with autism. With her husband, former NFL
quarterback Rodney Peete, she founded the HollyRod Foundation, dedicated to offering help
through compassionate care to families living with autism and Parkinson’s disease. Ryan
Elizabeth Peete is a college student and avid world traveler who has devoted herself to advocacy for children with special needs. Rodney Jackson Peete, “RJ,” serves as a mentor at the Los
Angeles Speech and Language Therapy Center, where he provides support and help to young
people like himself on the autism spectrum. The Peetes have invited viewers into their family
life in the docuseries For Peete’s Sake, which premiered on OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network
in March, 2016.

One of the most transformative services libraries provide children is that of
place, whether size and budget allow for
a single bulletin board or thousands of
futuristic square feet. As places where
stories and imagination come to life in
an engaging environment, Orlando’s
theme parks are unrivaled in the world,
and our keynote will be given by Marty
Sklar, former president of Walt Disney Imagineering, and the
man behind the creative development of EPCOT and design
supervisor for Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris, among
many other magical spaces. Following his inspiration we’ll hear
from the Center for Childhood Creativity; Skidmore, Owings &
Merrill LLP; Richland Library; and Clemson University on how
child development, architecture, and stories all work together
to create spaces that are vital to children and the communities
that support them. The program will also feature an interactive show-and-tell of inspiring libraries from across the globe
and everyone is invited to share their own spaces of which
they’re proud by tweeting pictures using #ALSCprez. This program honors Charlemae Hill Rolllins, the first African American
president of ALA’s Children’s Services Division (which became

OCCC - W109B
Transforming: Systems & Technology
LITA President Thomas Dowling welcomes Dr. Safiya Noble. The landscape
of information is rapidly shifting as
new imperatives and demands push
to the fore increasing investment in
digital technologies, despite the consequences of increased surveillance and
lack of privacy, which are changing our
information engagements. Increasingly,
critical information scholars are demonstrating how digital
technology and its narratives are shaped by and infused with
values that are not impartial, disembodied, or lacking positionality. Technologies consist of a set of social practices, situated within the dynamics of race, gender, class, and control.
In this talk, Safiya Umoja Noble, Assistant Professor in the
Department of Information Studies at UCLA, will discuss the
importance of the library community to offer models of intervention through research, practice, and teaching. Her research
examines the linkages to power struggles over representation
on the web and in the digital library, and the consequences of
marginalization and misrepresentation in commercial information platforms like Google search, particularly for communities
living under increasing surveillance and precarity.

Michael Eric Dyson
Diane Guerrero
Opening General Session Speaker
ALA President’s Program
Named by Essence magazine as one of the 50 most inspiring
African Americans in the U.S., Dyson takes on tough and controversial issues. As one of the nation’s most renowned public
intellectuals, he is the author of 17 books, a New York Times
op-ed contributor, an MSNBC political analyst, and former host
of NPR’s The Michael Eric Dyson Show. His most recent book,
The Black Presidency: Barack Obama and the Politics of Race in America, is

Well known as an actress on the hit shows Orange is the
New Black and Jane the Virgin, Guerrero also volunteers with
the nonprofit Immigrant Legal Resource Center and in 2015
was named a White House Ambassador for Citizenship and
Naturalization. She is an outspoken advocate for commonsense, comprehensive immigration reform, and has worked
with nonpartisan organizations to promote citizenship and voter registration. “Diane Guerrero’s personal story is a powerful reminder of the library’s
essential role in creating individual opportunity and community progress,”

EQUITY, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION
Diversity is one of ALA’s Key Action Areas. In 2013, ALA President Barbara Stripling convened a Task Force on Equity, Diversity,
and Inclusion (TFEDI), charged with assessing and addressing how ALA can be more intentional about the ways it addresses
issues surrounding equity, diversity, and inclusion within the Association and its events, and how to increase the impact. At this
conference, the TFEDI will unveil its recommendations.
Other committees, divisions, affiliates, and individual members have also designed programs to continue dialogue around these
complicated issues, provide best practices, and share stories from the field. These affect you, your colleagues, your patrons, and
your communities, and we encourage all attendees to engage. These recommendations from the ALA Committee on Diversity
will help you find many related programs, events, speakers, exhibitors, and meetings here at this conference. You can also find
the full updated list at https://sites.google.com/site/diversityrelatedevents/home.
Program descriptions and other details about these events can be found in the Conference Scheduler, Mobile App, or the

or multi-racial. Despite numerous diversity initiatives there remains a
stark racial/ethnic disparity between our profession and the communities we serve. Panelists will discuss strategies for disrupting structures
and processes that perpetuate racial and ethnic disparities in librarianship; broaching microaggressions; working against implicit biases in
hiring and performance evaluations; and formulating alternative actions
we can use within the profession. Facilitated by Anthony Bishop.

2015–2016 Scholars
According to AAUW’s “The Simple Truth about the Gender Pay Gap”
women working full time in the United States typically are paid just 79
percent of what white men are paid, a gap of 21 percent — and it’s even
worse for women of color. The pay gap has barely budged in a decade.
At the current rate, the gap won’t close for more than 100 years. More
education helps increase women’s earnings, but it still doesn’t close
the gender pay gap. Thanks to the pay gap, women struggle to pay off
student loan debt even more than men do. Panelists will discuss how
library professionals can confront and overcome the impact gender and
race can have on compensation and leadership opportunities.

Friday, June 24 • 7:30 am – 8:30 am
Thinking about trends helps library professionals make sense of the
changes that are happening in their environments, align their work
to users’ current needs and expectations, and innovate services and
programs so that libraries remain integral to the future of their communities. ALA’s Center for the Future of Libraries focuses its work on
providing library professionals and community leaders with information
resources and tools that will help them understand the trends reshaping their libraries and communities. The Center’s Miguel Figueroa will
explore the many futures awaiting libraries and what we can do as
individuals and as organizations to be drivers of change.

Ian Ruskin, world renowned actor and

life of Thomas Paine, author of Common
Sense, that will be aired on public TV this
Presidential election year. Thomas Paine
wrote about ideas that were so controversial he was often imprisoned and fined,
and almost executed. His works were banned in Europe and anyone
who distributed, read or discussed his books faced prosecution. Some
were arrested for simply displaying a portrait of Thomas Paine. In the
late 1700’s, he fled to the United States where he continued to write
about slavery, religion, and independence from British government.

Kumu Hina is a powerful feature documentary about the struggle to maintain
Pacific Islander culture and values within
the Westernized society of modern day
Hawai‛i. It is told through the lens of an
extraordinary Native Hawaiian who is both
a proud and confident māhū, or transgender woman, and an honored
and respected kumu, or teacher, cultural practitioner, and community
leader. Kumu Hina portrays a world where instead of transgender
people being marginalized because of who they are, they are actually
visible, included and honored.
