<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning and happy October, friends. And welcome to Bethany from Texas!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you Tessa for these monthly updates and invitations. I want to share that the Ohio Library Council convention took place last week (this is our state library conference for public librarians/library staff). It was exceptional. Strong,
thoughtful sessions, and even better conversations in the hallways. And we had a lovely reception at the amazing brand-new Dayton Metro Library’s main library (<a href="http://www.daytonmetrolibrary.org/locations/main" target="_blank">www.daytonmetrolibrary.org/<wbr>locations/main</a>).
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think part of what made this event so powerful, sadly, was that it took place at a time when we are all feeling burdened and troubled, on our patrons’ behalf and our own. I had signed up, months ago, to present one of a handful of brief
talks on hot topics/timely issues. Speakers choose topics of interest to them, which this year included screen time, the love/hate relationship with SRP, a critique of “neutrality”, reliability and government information, and more. They are sort-of modeled
after TED talks, but no A/V and you can read from your scripted remarks, which I did, and not without fighting back tears a little. The topic I’d chosen was empathy and its importance as a professional asset. It seemed even more relevant now than back in the
winter when I’d submitted my proposal. People are in such dire need of connection and acknowledgement, and we serve our communities better when we truly take into account the realities of everyone in the community. I was humbled both by being able to talk
to a big roomful of peers about something like this, and by the tremendous response.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also I want to share Teen Think Tank, an excellent informal/grassroots CE event developed and presented 2x/year by a team of Ohio teen librarians. They just completed their 9<sup>th</sup> one-day workshop, and also recently topped 1000
Facebook followers. The Teen Think Tank organizers have had a bit of in-kind support from one of the Ohio regional library systems, and from State Library, and of course the support of their employers and hosting libraries. But effectively they have accomplished
all this awesomeness on their own, and with a budget of nothing but the $15/person (includes lunch) registration fee. Check out Teen Think Tank here:

<p class="MsoNormal">Regarding dinner on the Sunday evening of YALSA, I’ll do whatever Krista suggests we do, but 7:00 pm is fine and splitting into manageable groups is also fine. Thanks!<u></u><u></u></p>

info that Janet put together</a>, we have almost 24 people who are open to dinner on Sunday evening. I looked into it, and I couldn’t find a restaurant within walking distance that would take such a large group. Therefore, I am wondering if we should split
the group and look for 2 restaurants that could host 12 each or 3 that could host 8.<u></u><u></u></p>
