Hi Everyone! <div><br></div><div>So we had a lovely time discussing libraries and the like at our first meetup, and we would like to make it a regular thing. So, our next meetup with be Monday, October 28th at 5:30pm at Ike Box in Salem. (299 Cottage Street) I suspect we will change locations in November, but for now we will repeat. </div>
<br><div>To give everyone an idea, we spent our time in a very loose question/answer or topic/share format. We chatted until roughly 7:30 but we don't have a specific time allottment in mind. Because of the nature of our group, we focused on children and teen services but would be very interested to talk with librarians in all areas and with varying amounts of experience. Please don't feel like you need to be there at 5:30, we are pretty much guaranteed and hour and a half of conversation and would love to see as many of you as possible, even if it is only for 15 minutes. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If the wise librarians out there have anything you would like to share with the new members of the professional community, please email me at <a href="mailto:youthlib.taylor@creswell-library.org">youthlib.taylor@creswell-library.org</a> and I will share it with the group at our next meetup. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Finally, I am going to reserve us a room at Ike Box that allows for a fair number of people, but if you know you will be able to attend send a note my way so I can make sure we aren't sardines. If you want to come early, I will be there by 5:00 at the latest. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks! Let me know if there are any questions, Cheers!</div><div><br></div><div>Talyor Worley</div><br><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr"><span><font color="#888888"><div dir="ltr"><font color="#444444"><font face="georgia, serif">Taylor Worley</font> |</font><font color="#444444" face="georgia, serif" size="1"><font face="garamond, serif"> </font>Youth & Community Services Librarian,
