Core Library Storage Interest Group

Dear CORE Library storage List serv members,

Good afternoon. Hope all is well with you.   We have some updates, comments and questions for you.  Amy Boucher and I, as the co-chairs for the ALA CORE Library storage interest group, met recently to start thinking about future plans for the group. We have been thinking about sending a "how do you deal with X at your facility "message to the list serv every month trying to promote discussion.  We would love some ideas for monthly questions from you. Feel free to respond to us directly with ideas!

Does anyone on this list attend the CORE Forum or the LibLearnX conference?  If so, is there an audience for storage topics at either event?  

And finally, would there be any interest in attending an in person field trip to a library storage facility in San Diego, during the Annual meeting in 2024? If so, please let Amy and I know so we can think about logistics. Date of the tour would probably be on Thursday the 27^th of June.

Best,

Cathy and Amy
