<p class="MsoNormal">Hope September is treating you well so far!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m writing because I’d love to connect with others who might be working on contingency plans for virtual reference services that are currently funded through LSTA given the uncertainty of this funding after our current fiscal year. Please
reach out to me if this is something you would like to discuss over email or in a virtual meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
