2007 -Iowa established a practice of inviting State Librarian Mary Wegner to all meetings, with complimentary registration.  This included asking her to be on our program at our annual spring meeting, giving us an annual update on the activities in Iowa's libraries. We feel this lets us see the whole picture of libraries in our state and also allows us to be part of the picture, too! She is a great advocate for all libraries - public, school, academic, and special.
