We are ready to introduce our online discussion and chat space through Mighty Network. It is free to join and I encourage you to participate if you are new to libraries yourself or want to provide support to those that are. It is a browser-based platform and
you do not need to download a separate app. We will be using this platform for discussions, member networking, and for sharing group updates.

Save the date for Wednesday, September 24th! We will be hosting our first (free) virtual event in the afternoon - exact time to be announced soon. This will be panel discussion where librarians in different roles at various types of libraries (such as academic,
public, and school libraries) will give an overview of what their job is like and will answer questions from attendees. We will announce the time and panelist details within the next few weeks.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
