See the conference hotel page for booking information. http://kudos.koha-community.org/kudoscon2011/accommodation-in-madison/ And if all of this is not enough incentive, Madison is a fun place! Plus, you might get to see a few protesters. http://kudos.koha-community.org/kudoscon2011/what-to-do-in-madison/ -- Vicki Teal Lovely Helping our 52 member libraries provide the best possible service to the public.
