    Hi all,
    Welcome to a new year in the ALA and GODORT calendar! I am Andie Craley and am pleased and honored to be the current Chair of GODORT (Government Documents Round Table) of ALA.
    This Friday August 23 at 1 PM EST (12 Noon CT), we will resume our GODORT Friday Chats (topic rescheduled from the August 2 date, which had Zoom technical difficulties).  The topic will be "Welcome back to a new year! Share your institution's upcoming event plans! Welcome Back Student Fairs, Constitution Day, National Voter Registration Day, Library Card Sign Up Month, Banned Books Week, FDLP Anniversaries, Election Day, International Games Month, etc."
    GODORT Chats are hosted on the 1st Friday of each month at 1 PM Eastern. These are informal sessions for the GODORT community and friends to meet and talk about issues in government information.
