ALAN is one of the additional Workshops that you can add on right on the NCTE registration form. It's usually around $200 for the Monday and Tuesday (well worth it for all of the books and authors!) and a year's membership to ALAN is included as well. I don't think I'll be able to get approval for any days off for NCTE (had to use personal days for ALAN), but might try to get there for Saturday at least – it sounds like you had a great time there this year.

Oh my gosh! When I sign up for NCTE (Friday-Saturday) will there be a box to sign up for ALAN as well? I've already asked my principal if I can stay for it next year! And I love the idea of meeting up 🙂 It should be a lot of fun.

Sarah – The box of books is included with your ALAN registration fee! It's awesome!!! I get at least 35-40 books at each ALAN, and can wait in line to get them signed by any of the authors there if I want them signed. Find me next year and I'd be happy to show you the ropes; I'll be there for sure as it's close in Chicago!

Wow! Did ALAN give everyone those books, or did you buy them? I was at NCTE, but I didn't get to stay for ALAN 🙁 Next year I will for sure!

Happy Reading 🙂
