<font face="georgia,serif">Greetings!<br><br>Last year, information staff from Multnomah County Library (along with a few other friends) embedded themselves at the <a href="http://www.wordstockfestival.com/">Wordstock Festival</a> at Portland's <a href="http://www.oregoncc.org/">Convention Center</a>. We donned red aprons, pinned on our "Ask Us Anything!" buttons, grabbed a tablet and headed out to the Festival floor ready to answer participants' questions -- everything from the usual (where is the bathroom?), the arcane (what's the definition of "sassy?"), and the ones that we really love (there was a book I read in fourth grade ...). We would be delighted if you joined us.<br>
<br></font><font face="georgia,serif">You can find out a little bit about what we did by checking <a href="http://www.wordstockfestival.com/2011/09/ask-me-anything/" target="_blank">this</a> out, and/or scrolling through this <a href="http://ww.nwcentral.org/files/Embedded%20Librarians%20at%20OLA.ppt" target="_blank">PPT</a> (from this year's OLA Conference) until you get to Red Apron Mamas.<br>
<br>We need you on Saturday and Sunday, <i><b>October 13-14</b></i>, for
a three- or four-hour shift from 9 am to 6 pm. (We're going to try three-hour shifts, but we may have to make them
longer, depending on how many folks we can rustle up. So if you can
work longer, let me know.)<br><br style="font-family:georgia,serif"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">9 to noon</span><br style="font-family:georgia,serif"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">noon to 3</span><br style="font-family:georgia,serif">

<br style="font-family:georgia,serif"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">Please email me with your preferred date/time (alternatives are welcome, too). I'll get back with you about a schedule next week.</span><br style="font-family:georgia,serif">
