Barb’s memory
For the first time in three years we finally had an in-person AGM, and it was so so wonderful to see everyone again after so long. The book publishing community is the best community – I had no idea just how much I’d missed everyone until we were all hugging it out in Calgary (masked, but affectionate!).Tan’s memory
My favourite memory from the past year would have to be working with Bella to support the publishers through the accessible digital books conversion project, and successfully launching eBooks for Everyone!Laura’s memory
Our first hybrid AGM, in Calgary and online, was a memorable day! It’s always heartening to see our members gathering and sharing knowledge so freely. And it was also great to go on a literary walking tour of Calgary, which ended at the amazing Shelf Life bookstore. (Thanks to our friends at the Book Publishers Association of Alberta for organizing these events!)Lauren’s memory
After a career wandering, I returned to ALU’s mom company, the LPG. And what a joy to be back, especially in time to discuss the fantastic books in our “Summer of Andrés” book club with colleagues new and old.Birthday giveaway!
