I’m guessing some library directors and staff, and perhaps even some Friends and Trustees from Oregon will be attending the ALA Midwinter Meeting. The session is called, “Nuts & Bolts for Friends and Trustees, but of course we encourage library staff, library directors, and those working with library Foundations to attend as well. Everyone is welcome! Please share with your library support groups as well as library directors throughout your state.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>All that is needed to attend is to register for a FREE exhibits only badge (follow link below). Attendees will have 90 minutes for lunch on their own. Coffee will be provided in the morning. We have a fabulous line up of speakers covering a wide range of topics. We will also have our very popular roundtables in the afternoon.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Attendees are encouraged to bring examples of materials (membership brochures, flyers, newsletters, library policies, advocacy materials, promotional materials, etc.) to share with other attendees.
