Ribbon Station Services
Our goal is to enhance your ALA ribbon experience. We offer several free and paid services, as well as general advice in order to achieve this goal.
Ribbon Exclusives
Over 70 exclusive ribbons available through donations and activities! See one of our staff for opportunities in earning ribbons.
Ribbon Wonder Trade
Drop off a ribbon to get a completely random ribbon in exchange! Wonder Trade may take up to a few hours to find you a trading partner, so continue your ribbon hunt while you wait. Just don’t forget to come back for your new ribbon!
