Tell Us What You’ve Been Up To!
Our next Take Five Talks session will be Thursday April 13, 2:30pm, in the Thornton Room and via Zoom. It’s your chance to share information on a special project, significant accomplishment, conference or workshop participation, or other interesting endeavor that enhances the Libraries in some manner. And an opportunity to eat a Take Five candy bar without guilt 😉
Submit your idea with the Take Five Talks Form (see the link in the sidebar, right) or HERE.

Pan-Library Forum slides
Thanks to everyone for attending today’s info-packed Pan-Library Forum. I apologize for the zoom glitches—but thanks to Tracy and Alonso for making it work! Working on a better way for next time because I realize that no matter how much we all like being together in person (and eating deviled eggs), there are times when it is not possible.
As ever,
Valerie

I originally said I would be in the Thornton Room, but the meeting Owl was not working so well this morning. We’ll avoid sharing viruses by meeting over Zoom – the Thornton Room is still reserved, though, if you want to take your laptop there!

Take Five Talks – Your Opportunity to Share!
Reminder! the first “Take Five Talks” session is Thursday, December 15 at 2:30. This is for everyone on staff: please consider sharing information about projects underway, new initiatives, and recent accomplishments in your work in the Libraries. There is much we can learn from one another, beyond the snippets of information that are shared in various work groups or department meetings or summarized in annual reports. Tell us what you’re up to!
Use this form to indicate your interest in presenting in either December, February or April. The goal is five-minute talks, with Q&A time, and presentations can extend to 10 minutes if needed. To be held in the Thornton Room and on Zoom. Sponsored by Library Council.
