This winter AALL members took a wide range of photographs of law librarians working, meeting, teaching, and doing all that law librarians do in a given day or week. More than 50 members from law libraries across the country submitted over 150 photos to the contest. Congratulations to the winners, and many thanks to each and every member who participated and shared their photos with AALL.
To view the rest of the submissions, visit the
Day in the Life group on Flickr.
