Thanks for starting this discussion Gina! I see in the council documents that there's a placeholder memorial resolution for Dr. Hwa-Wei Lee. Does anyone know who is working on that? I'm in Athens, Ohio where Dr. Lee was dean of libraries at Ohio University, and the current interim dean has been working ...

Do you have contact with local Headstarts, preschools, or day cares? We often offer unneeded furnishings to our local partners who may not have the resources we do and appreciate access to our used furnishings.

Thank you so much for these notes, Rhonda! I really appreciate Aaron's comments as Rhonda related them: "I'm hoping C&B will come out with actionable looks at options for both directions - listing out how pieces might look a little different or a lot different.  There'll need to be COO & C&B collaborations, ...

Thanks for the discussion so far everyone! There are a couple points raised that I would like to clarify a bit before the 30th. On the question regarding NALCos: since that was part of TAG's original proposal Amy or someone else from the committee would have to confirm this, but I had assumed that ...

Found In Egroup: ALA Council \ view thread
Hi everyone! As I said when I spoke at our previous meetings, I believe we have an opportunity to shape a new executive board in a way that will ensure that voices from many different sectors of librarianship and many different viewpoints are heard. To start us all thinking about that before our discussion ...

This discussion has now thrown me into some confusion as I try to nail down my travel schedule... is there any chance there may be a Council Session on Tuesday? If I can I'd like to leave on Tuesday. Due to flights I have to leave town in the morning whether Tuesday or Wednesday, and it would obviously ...

Found In Egroup: Core Dialogue with Directors Interest Group \ view thread
For me the moment I knew I was ready to be a director was when I realized that ideas I had gleaned from coworkers, articles, and direct experience could benefit whatever library I had the opportunity to lead, and that my colleagues were already looking to me for help in making those ideas happen.

Correct, but what I am trying to confirm is that we are not committing to how the new policy making body (Board of Directors) or the new body of knowledge (Council/Assemblies) are composed. ------------------------------ Nicholas Tepe Director Athens County Public Libraries He/Him/His ------------- ...

Somehow I missed this when it was posted, but this gets at my question at Forum last night... the motions we are considering do not commit us to the details in this document, correct? All we would be approving with these motions is the concept of governance by a Board of Directors, exact composition ...
