Monday’s top tweets (once again, we couldn’t manage to pick just 10) have an end-of-summer-camp flavor. Librarians are already reflecting on the four days of planned and chance meetings, sessions and networking, work and fun. There’s also a few commitments to action in this batch, important Battledecks news, and mad love for all those who attended and made #ala12 great.

Also, don’t kill the king of Scotland. Nobody here endorses that.

Handler: "when you read Macbeth, you instantly turn to witchcraft and kill the king of Scotland. Everyone does." #ala12

My biggest complaint about conferences? Don't tell me about what you did, tell me what I can DO!! #ALA12

Loving these ignite sessions! #ala12

I don't believe reluctant readers are reluctant, they just haven't met the right book yet. @literarydocent Focus on the Future session #ala12

So much to think about after #ALA12. Feel fortunate to be a part of a new generation of #librarians.

#sxswLAM #ala12 Libraries are stuck in "reactionary mode" at the moment when we need to be innovating like crazy

Okay, going to finally apply for Emerging Leaders this year. Now to get paperwork in order, stat! #ala12

Getting the most out of #ala requires deep involvement in the association. Don't just be present, but truly #makeithappen. #ala12

Based on #ala12 tweets, my proposed session for #ala13 will be called: Stop Being Creepy, Here's a Conference Ribbon, Now Let's Find a Bar

I will never forget the #printz12 audience spontaneously bursting into the chorus of "Without Libraries We'd Be DUM." #ala12

Had a lovely time at #ALA12. If librarians ruled the world, the future would be a hell of a lot brighter.

And, because the @alaannual Twitter Maven lives to make dreams come true, one final bonus tweet:

Missed my goal of getting "top ten tweets" notice from @alaannual. Remains on my bucket list. Better luck next year
