    Is EMIERT hosting a meeting/gathering at ALA for just EMIERT?  Apologies, but if you are I missed seeing the information and would appreciate being corrected.

    Hi Amy,

    EMIERT is hosting a chair's program and Taste of the Town event.  Additionally, we are partnering with Literacy Nation on their Read-a-Thon and will be presenting Diverse BookFinder at the diversity fair.  In terms of formal meetings, we will have our Board meeting.  We are planning a general meeting for members as a virtual event at a later point in time.
