    It's summertime! Time for sitting around the campfire, telling stories and eating hotdogs and s'mores! Whether you're a kid or an adult, camp is a special experience.

      The Library Users of America were joined by attendees as they listened to, and commented on, some of the most inspiring poetry of our times. While we were not able to get the Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman herself, we pulled together a wonderful collection of her reading her own poems across the country, usually alone, but also with such musical backgrounds as the Boston Pops and John Baptiste.

                  This is our tenth annual Voices from Around the World celebration, so we decided to pull out all the stops. This year, it was decided to take a deep dive into issues surrounding culture and disability. Some cultures embrace it while others may relegate the members who are blind or have low vision to a fate worse than death. This year’s panel discussion promised to be livelier than ever. Listing the panelists here would spoil the surprise, attendees were asked to indulge us by helping to support our 10th anniversary and welcoming our international guests.
