<p class="MsoNormal">Hi fellow coordinators,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am surfacing for a moment from round 2 of Pandemic Holidays in the state that is now third in the nation for per capita cases. How’s it going in your states – with the pandemic, with your evaluations, etc? And, are folks starting on their
5-year plans yet? Because no one on the Minnesota team, including our new State Librarian Tami Lee (<a href="https://news.minitex.umn.edu/news/2021-10/new-director-libraries-and-expanded-learning-division-minnesota-department-education" target="_blank">New Director for the
Libraries and Expanded Learning division at the Minnesota Department of Education | Minitex (umn.edu)</a>), has even done a plan before, we’re looking to hire a consultant to guide us through the process. Any recommendations?
