New Orleans Annual, June 26, 2011: Flash Mob and Freeze
Loading...
Uploaded by AmLibraryAssociation on Jun 27, 2011
ALA's first ever Advocacy Flash Mob and Freeze took place in Jackson Square on Sunday at 5:50 pm amid a downpour that some participants dubbed a "Flash Flood Mob." More than 50 library advocates gathered in front of Saint Louis Cathedral despite the rain to dance and sing "When the Saints Go Marching In" as a lead-up to the Freeze. Most wore t-shirts with library slogans on them to identify themselves as librarians supporting the New Orleans community, just as ALA did in 2006 when it was the first conference to return to NOLA after Hurricane Katrina. Libraries care about communities, and communities should care about libraries. The Freeze Mob was organized by the ALA Think Tank as a #makeithappen event.

As a long time library supervisor and tourist who was stuck in the dank Superdome during Katrina and the levee failures, NOLA holds a special place in my heart. At the ALA convention in 2006 Anderson Cooper brought tears to our eyes speaking of his ties to New Orleans and the lessons we should have learned. Thank you ALA for existing!
