[PL-Directors] FW: Association for Rural and Small Libraries Conference

[Jim Scheppke]

Dear Directors: I was asked to share this information with you. This conference is in the other Frisco!  The dim sum probably isn’t so good, but the BBQ may be great. Actually, I have heard good things about this conference...

Subject: Please share Association for Rural and Small Libraries Conference information

Hello State Library representative.  Please consider sharing the following information with your libraries.  And let me know if you have questions.  Thanks, Steve Seale, ARSL 2011 Conference Chair, 469/235-8032.

The conference will bring together representatives from libraries across the nation to share resources and build a spirit of collaboration.
