ALA 2024: An AMAZING Time in San Diego

July 30, 2024

Raise your hand if you enjoyed ALA 2024 in sunny San Diego! Wow, what a beautiful location for the conference. We want to give a big "thank you" to everyone who helped make it happen. We absolutely loved seeing all of you at booth #923 and celebrating with you at our 1920s party on Saturday night!

Highlight Reel

We put together a highlight reel with compiled footage from ALA 2024 booth setup, conference connections, and the 1920s party. Whew--it was a lot of effort, but completely worth it. A big shout-out to our parent company, The Library Corporation (TLC) as they celebrate their 50th year in business--always and only working with libraries for the full extent of their tenure.

Big Effort, Big Impact

We brought our automated material handling (AMH) system to the show floor at ALA 2024. Most of our customers don't need overhead conveyance, but we wanted to pull out all the stops to show you how our system can go below, around, above, and beyond to make your totalAMH system work for your space.

We've affectionately chosen the name "Rosie" for this AMH system. Rosie resembles a caterpillar and, like most caterpillars, this caterpillar's favorite is to eat as much as she can, as fast as she can. All throughout ALA weekend, Rosie sorted library materials for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

A Roarin' Great Time

Over 200 guests joined us for a 1920's-style celebration featuring the Gatsby Gang Jazz Band, excellent food and drink, lots of laughter, great conversation, and even a little dancing (good job, brave people!)
