<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">I have the privilege of
guest-editing the Winter 2017 Oregon Library Association Quarterly. This
issue’s theme is Sushi, STEM, or Goat Yoga: Successful Library Programming. Do
you have a program your library has been super successful with? Do your
millennials need a brief adulting 101 course? How did the mini goats and yoga
on the Library lawn turn out for you? Do you think other libraries might enjoy
a fantastic program you just did? Do you have a unique hybrid of collaborations
that just might spur other libraries on to greatness? Please share! It doesn’t
matter if you are an academic, school, private, public library or anything in
between. If you have a successful program, we want to hear about it! </span></p>
