Ooh, I like the idea of helping to promote librarian presences at cons and SFF events. We do celebrate our nerdiness, because it is absolutely work celebrating.
To the above, has anyone on here done anything with a con, either at their local branch or something else?
And, critically, what're you all reading? I started
Equinox by David Towsey over the weekend. It's one of the most fascinating fantasy set-ups I have seen in a long time, though at it's heart, it's a noir detective story.

Hi, Athina! I think we'd all benefit from periodic updates on new and upcoming works, and reviews as people feel the urge to submit them.
I'd also be interested in discussions on Connect or elsewhere. I'm sure we all have thoughts. :)
Generally speaking, it would also be cool, I think, to investigate how we can instill library/librarian presences at cons and other SF&F events across the nation, really working to cement the importance of libraries to SF&F and vice versa.
Thanks!
Jeremy

I'm trying to put together some ideas for events that this group would like for 2022. I hope to see everyone at the panel this summer, but what types of activities/events would you like to see during the rest of the year. Here are some starting ideas, but let me know your own as well:
- Discussions on Connect
- Social media handles to follow
- New and upcoming SF/F book notices or reviews
- A newsletter
- Just the panel is fine
Thanks!
Athina
