We really wish that everyone could join us in New Orleans for the conference. But for those attending virtually, here are some virtual exhibits and tours for you to enjoy.
I hope you can enjoy a little New Orleans flavor wherever you are! The links below are from a variety of local entities. Also included: the only live cameras that are left in New Orleans, both on the same corner on Bourbon Street. Maybe you can play "Spot The Librarian!"
