Exchange Project, three Oregon librarians are currently traveling to
Fujian Province, China, for a three week visit to libraries and cultural
centers. They will be learning about the state of librarianship in
public and university
libraries as well as giving presentations in their areas of expertise.</div>

<div>If you would like to follow their adventures, Patricia French (Multnomah County Library), Angela Lee (Washington County Cooperative Library Services), and Lori Wamsley (Portland Community College, Cascade Campus) will be blogging about their experiences at <a href="http://2013horner.wordpress.com" target="_blank">http://2013horner.wordpress.com</a></div>

<div>The Horner Library Staff Exchange Project is an exchange of library
staff between Fujian Province, China, and Oregon, for the purpose of
sharing professional knowledge about library and information science. It
was established through a generous gift from
the late Dr. Layton Horner to the Oregon State Library, and continues
through a partnership between the Oregon State Library and OLA’s
International Relations Round Table. Our international partners are the
Fujian Provincial Library and the Fujian Library Association.
Fujian is Oregon’s sister province in China and the Fujian Provincial
Library maintains a sister library relationship with the Oregon State
Library.</div>
