More than 3,000 school librarians and other guests are in Charlotte through Saturday for the 14th American Association of School Librarians Conference.
Organizers say the event, scheduled for the Charlotte Convention Center on South College Street, is the biggest annual gathering of school media specialists.
The keynote speaker Thursday will be best-selling author James Patterson, who has written "Maximum Ride," "Women's Murder Club," and the "Alex Cross" series of books. A number of other noted authors are scheduled to speak at the event.
