> While the AASL 17th National Conference & Exhibition officially opens Thursday afternoon, there’s plenty to experience before the Opening General Session. If you’re new to AASL national conference, you won’t want to miss the First-Timer’s Orientation from 12:30–1:30 p.m. (For more tips on making the most of AASL national conference, check out “AASL First-timer or frequent-attendee… Wish I had known that Tip Sheet” and “Wish I had known that Tip Sheet Part 2 – The Exhibit Hall Edition” on the KQ website.) The IdeaLab from 1–3 p.m. offers a best-practice showcase highlighting collaborative projects with school librarians. In addition, the Mazza Museum will showcase a travelling display of original artwork and a museum representative will be on hand to discuss the artwork with attendees.

> Where to Eat in Columbus
> 
> Looking for somewhere to eat while at national conference? Columbus has an amazing food scene featuring top-ranked chefs, a rich farm-to-table movement, one-of-a-kind restaurants, and creative artisan desserts, beers, wines and spirits. National conference committee members Susan Yutzey and Liz Deskins have scouted the dining options and have outlined all the culinary opportunities available in Columbus in "Restaurants in Columbus: A List" on the KQ website. They've also posted their recommendations on the AASL RebelMouse website. Look for the hashtag #alacartlibrarians.

The North Market (site of the Closing Celebration) features merchants selling an array of local food, goods, and international and ethnic specialties. The Center for Science & Industry (COSI) is one of the most respected science centers in the nation with endless opportunities to explore real science. The Columbus Museum of Art features late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American and European modern art; examples of Impressionism, German Expressionism, and Cubism; and regional collections. The Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is a premier horticultural and educational institution with a rich history dating back over 150 years. The Wexner Center for the Arts is The Ohio State University's multidisciplinary, international laboratory for the exploration and advancement of contemporary art.
