the services they provide to their communities. How do we prepare and prioritize critical programming, collections, and technology services to continue to provide access to information in rural areas? In this session, Jennifer Thiele will discuss some of the
issues at hand, and how librarians have worked through them with budgetary shifts, partnering with support agencies, advocacy campaigns, and other methods.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
