<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">Dear Oregon Library friends,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">On behalf of our
<b>Public Library Division</b> (PLD), I'm writing with an update about our fabulous annual
<b>PLD banquet</b> planned for Wednesday, April 19, at our upcoming OLA conference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">I'm thrilled to announce that in addition to the conference-gourmet "Little Italy" buffet, the fun you'll have catching up with colleagues, and celebrating with the PLD Award
winner, PLD has a wonderful treat in store for you for the program! <b>Our speakers this year are from Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB):
<a href="https://twitter.com/aprilbaer?lang=en">April Baer</a>, reporter and State of Wonder host, and
<a href="https://twitter.com/sarahopb?lang=en">Sarah Rothenfluch</a>, Executive Editor of News</b>.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">As we all try to adapt and learn how to best navigate this current news and information economy, we thought it would be interesting to hear from reporters about their work. In
this age of fake news, journalists are under fire from bloggers to the White House. Journalists and librarians share a common interest in providing our audiences with balanced and authoritative resources. April and Sarah will discuss the current landscape
for journalists and how we can both stay afloat in this volatile sea of misinformation and continue to provide our communities with the information they can depend on. You won't want to miss this!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">Already registered for the conference? No worries!
