The Library again participated in the American Library Association's semiannual exposition, held this summer in the spacious Washington Convention Center. Thousands of conferees visited the Library's booth in the ALA exhibit hall, where Library staff discussed services and products for the nation's academic, public and school libraries. In the booth's presentation theater, conferees had the chance to hear the latest news on a number of Library products, services and initiatives, including the new Packard Campus for Audio-Visual Conservation in Culpeper, Va. (see story on page 147), the National Digital Newspaper Program, the new interactive experience for Library visitors scheduled to open in spring 2008, Classification Web, Cataloger's Desktop, the Veterans History Project, StoryCorps, the National Book Festival, Lifelong Literacy and various divisions and reading rooms. - Raquel Maya
