The Charleston Library Conference is always held during the first week of November in Charleston, South Carolina. The headquarters hotel is the Francis Marion Hotel located right off of Marion Square on King Street. It's a lovely city and a fantastic conference. Small-ish and focused on issues in book and serial acquisition in libraries. In 2020 the conference was held virtually and this year it's a hybrid of in-person and virtual. I will be attending virtually. It's not the same, as I will not be able to network with vendors and colleagues. I will, however, get to attend the keynotes, the panel presentations, and view the posters which are all virtual.
This year I am presenting a virtual poster that is focused on how to collect philatelic materials. It is geared toward the novice and to librarians. If you are attending the conference, check it out under the Virtual Poster sessions. It's entitled "It's in the mail: Diversifying your (special) collection with philately." For those attending, click here for the full poster.
