The Public Library Directors Forum on May 17 through 19 in San Diego’s Wyndham at Emerald Plaza Hotel drew 200 attendees including public library directors, California Library Services Act (CLSA) coordinators, speakers, and California State Library staff. 

State Librarian of California Susan Hildreth says the forum, which included a day devoted to “Library as Place,” and a “Customer Service Walkabout” in downtown San Diego, was “a resounding success.”  “It is tremendously productive,” Hildreth says, “to have California's library leaders gather and share ideas about reinventing our state’s public libraries.”
