list for February due to opportunities happening very soon. You can find information on other upcoming trainings and webinars, learning opportunities, awards, grant and scholarship information, items to reflect on and more included, as well. The PDF version
of this month, and previous months, can also be found via this same page.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk189662606">There are a few things I have pulled out to highlight at the top of this month’s resources based on timely topics and events. Because this is going out a little early,
please expect a couple additional things to be added early next week as I come across opportunities that I think will be of interest to the Oregon library community. If you have anything you would like to be added that falls under efforts to foster inclusive,
equitable and welcoming libraries, please feel free to send them along. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
