Another year, another Neil. Thank you Neil Young for your support of libraries!! #sxswlam (major props to @CarsonBlock for taking this pic!)

Rachel Robinson (@ItsRachelEmma), a reporter with the Wall Street Journal and current Nieman Journalism Fellow at Harvard University, shares how the librarians that she knew at an early age impacted her love and learning and her career path. 

Zachary Barker (@ZJBarker) of Opportunity Machine based in Lafayette, Lousiana, explains how he partners with his local library to host Business 101 classes for start-ups and entrepreneurs. Such a perfect example of how libraries can be start-up incubators! 

Rosario Dawson, shares her love for libraries with California librarians Ann Awakuni (@AnnAwakuni) and Yemila Alvaraz (@Yemila) after Dawson's panel, Star Power: Innovative Ways to Engage Millennials. 

A conversation between Edward Snowden and the ACLU, simulcast and watching at the #IdeaDrop house. Issues important for libraries: explaining encryption to our users, finding tools that enable us to browse/search with robust privacy settings, recognizing/explaining that some of our favorite free services (Google, Facebook, Yahoo) may be collecting and storing our data.

Some of the Library Machines by the folks of the Labrary and the Library Test Kitchen!

Interactive Session Assistant brunch at the #IdeaDrop house, sponsored by EveryLibrary! Mmm... mimosas!

Neil Gaiman displaying the awesome library temporary tattoos from #sxswLAM after the premiere of The Punk Singer, a great documentary about Kathleen Hanna that used material from the Riot Grrrl Collection at NYU. Yay libraries!
