Children’s Author Robert Scott Thayer at the 2022 American Library Association in Washington, D.C.

Greetings … it’s great to start traveling again! The creator of the award-winning Kobee Manatee® Children’s Educational series will be attending the 2022 American Library Association [ALA] Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. on June 25th

Opening speakers Include ALA President Patricia “Patty” Wong and FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel

Jessica Rosenworcel is chairwoman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). She is a sought-after speaker and “one of the most powerful federal policymakers when it comes to information access, and an ally of America’s libraries. Since joining the FCC in 2012, the Commission has made significant strides to bridge the digital divide and close the homework gap. ALA is particularly grateful for her staunch support of the federal E-rate program, which makes internet service affordable for thousands of libraries and schools across the nation.” Jessica “works to promote greater opportunity, accessibility, and affordability in our communications services in order to ensure that all Americans get a fair shot at 21st-century success.” 

ALA President Patricia “Patty” Wong will “host a lively, fireside conversation with Rosenworcel, as she puts a human face on policymaking and provides insight into current issues central to the core values of libraries, from the ongoing fight to preserve a free and open internet (net neutrality) to the challenges and solutions to close the digital divide.”

“Patricia ‘Patty’ Wong is the first Asian American to serve as president of the American Library Association (ALA). Patty has been an active ALA member for 37 years. She is a member of the Freedom to Read Foundation and, as an ALA Executive Board member, has worked with the association’s Intellectual Freedom Committee, Committee on Legislation, and the Conference Committee.”
