This article presents the highlights of the 2007 American Library Association (ALA) annual conference held at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. Hundreds of librarians showed up early for a day of service, volunteering in libraries, schools, and other Washington-area institutions. As the conference wound down, some 2000 librarians and library advocates traversed the corridors of Congress on June 26 wearing red "Support Libraries" t-shirts. Events at the conference also included a professional debate that discussed the question: "Do libraries innovate?" and panel discussions on library wikis and "top tech trends."
