    Hello, 

    I was wondering if there would be a collection management for public libraries discussion group at ALA in Chicago? 

    If so could you please share share the date and time as well as the meeting location?

    Thanks, 
    Amy

    In one of our online meetups we talked about this but there wasn't much interest.  I am going to ALA and would love to meet up if anyone wants to!

    Unfortunately I won't be at ALA this year to coordinate a meetup, but it would be great if those who are going wanted to set something up! There will be a space available for any IGs or committees to get together, so that's an option - here's the details:

    Core All Committee, Section & Interest Group Meeting

    Sunday, June 28th, 11am - 2pm CDT

    Location: McCormick Place, W 375 A Skyline

    Here's a direct link to the event: https://cdmcd.co/ZKD6RA

    Even if this doesn't work out, I hope everyone who is going has a great conference!
