[kids-lib] OYAN Quarterly Meeting in February, plus other announcements

[MCMAHAN Caitlin A]

Hello everyone!



I apologize for the cross-posting, but here are some important announcements from OYAN!


Upcoming OYAN meeting

Our quarterly meeting will be held on Friday, February 2nd. This meeting is hybrid and we are starting our first “pods” meeting, so if you would like to attend in-person, you will actually be meeting within your region. However, if you can’t accommodate traveling, you can attend from your very own desk via Zoom. Our meeting will start at 10AM and end at 2pm. OYAN official business will run from 10AM-12ish, a 30 minute break for lunch, then we'll meet in our pods either in-person or virtually from 12:30PM-2PM. If you have anything that you would like to be included in our agenda, please email Mark Richardson at markr at wccls.org and Ian Duncanson at iduncanson at beavertonoregon.gov so we can add it.



The locations that will be hosting an in-person site are:



Beaverton – Beaverton Public Library (contact Ian Duncanson at iduncanson at beavertonoregon.gov<mailto:iduncanson at beavertonoregon.gov> for more info)

Multnomah – Multnomah branch located at 221 NE 122nd Avenue, Portland, OR. Contact Danielle at daniellej at multco.us if you plan on attending at this branch because she needs to know who to expect so y'all can get into the meeting space!
