  • 1.  Library, Learn, X online and need for a liaison to ALA Advocacy Group

    Posted Sep 21, 2021 05:10 PM

    Dear Friends,
    The ALA Executive Board has voted that the ALA Library, Learn, X (formerly midwinter) will move from San Antonio, Texas to online citing the increase in COVID as the reason.  More and more ALA members had expressed reluctance to go to San Antonio.  RMRT will will hold a Board meeting before LLX to which you will all be invited.

    The ALA Committee on Library Advocacy has requested a liaison from RMRT.  Previuosly Vivian Winn and Ma'Lis Wendt have served in this role.  If you are interested in being a liaison to the Advocacy Committee, please let me know at nancybolt@earthlink.net.

    Nancy
