<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve been thrilled to have <a href="http://www.ala.org/alcts/preservationweek/habit" target="_blank">Franklin Habit as our 2017 honorary chair</a>. He’s been rallying for us on Twitter and helping Preservation Week connect to a larger community of people
with a special passion for textiles.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With Franklin’s help we’ve added to our textile preservation tips with this special series of <a href="http://www.ala.org/alcts/preservationweek/advice/habit" target="_blank">Ask Donia posts</a>.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve had two wonderful textile focus webinars that will support public outreach as well as smaller institutions caring for textile collections. As always these webinars are archived and freely available anytime, including all handouts
offered by the presenter.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have also had a wonderful opportunity to explore some peer focused programming with Miriam Centeno and Ann Marie Willer.

Diversity and Inclusion in Preservation, and agreed to reprise it as a special video for Preservation Week. The video and an accompanying trailer can be found on the ALCTS YouTube channel:<u></u><u></u></p>
