Dear Colleagues,
The Preservation Section Leadership team has compiled a list of preservation-related meetings and events for the upcoming ALA meeting in Chicago, including a Preservation Section Happy Hour.
Due to a scheduling conflict, we will not hold a Town Hall on Sunday, June 28th. The All Committee meeting on Sunday will take place from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm.
We hope you will join us if you plan to attend ALA. We look forward to seeing you there!
Best,
Martha
