Morning Keynote:
Unshelved: "Surviving the Public" **Gene Ambaum**, Cartoonist, Writer, Blogger and More []

Gene Ambaum is so good at making fun of strange, difficult customers because he is the strangest, most difficult customer of all. He has worked as a YA librarian, staff development coordinator, and taught English overseas for years because no one criticized his spelling. In addition to eleven years of __Unshelved__ comics he has also co-written an all-ages graphic novel, Poopy Claws, and a post zombie apocalypse parody, Fifty Shades of Brains (as BF Dealeo).
