The Pacific Northwest Library Association is meeting in Post Falls, Idaho (near Spokane, WA) in August.

This organization will 100 years old next year and includes the states and provinces of Idaho, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, British Columbia, and Alberta. It is the only international regional library association in North America and was given its start by Andy Carnegie himself.

One of the things this group does is support intellectual freedom efforts with a silent auction. If you have anything you'd like to donate to this auction -- a CD, perhaps -- please PM me and I'll tell you how to do so. There's no tax advantage here, it's just A Nice Thing To Do.
