Despite pleas from ALA leaders, members, and Local 2, ALA
refused to move many events and meetings out of the Marriott.
ALA refused to accept free space at the San Francisco Public
Library for the last Executive Board meeting; and refused the
President-Elect\’s offer of an alternative (and less
expensive) venue for the Inaugural Banquet.
