Summer Reading helps reduce the chatter and streamlines our discussions/decisions, etc. We call it our Summer Reading Advisory Council (SRAC).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#073763">It is a fairly informal group and for the most part, ad hoc, where I gather them for work on an as-needed basis. There are two reps from each of our three
regional libraries systems in MD: Eastern Shore Regional Library; Southern Maryland Regional Library, and Western Maryland Regional Library. The Directors of those three regional systems each appoint two reps to the SRAC from their library systems in their
region. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

where they nominate and choose two reps. They all then designate one of the reps on the SRAC to be their main facilitator, and I try to take a backseat role. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Hoping to have something up and running for next year. I have reached out to a few people about this topics but have not received anything back – probably because they’re busy with last minute summer maneuvering!
