Coping with Change
Thursday, October 24th at Twinsburg Public Library<https://mms.neo-rls.org/Calendar/moreinfo.php?eventid=53225>
Change has become a part of everyday working life, yet how those changes are managed on a personal basis and how our own personal attitudes to change are intrinsically linked is not always easy to understand.  This seminar teaches how to handle transitional periods of change with less disruption and sustained productivity.  This program addresses the human side of change which is more complex and harder to achieve.
Presenter:  Marti Peden , For over 25 years, Marti has worked with numerous libraries as a speaker, facilitator and strategic planning consultant.  She has worked with many of the libraries within the NEO-RLS regional library system as well as facilitating staff days for various public libraries.
Why host a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon?
[https://neo-rls.org/photos/51911_05172019125527.jpg]Hosting an event like this can create new connections with your existing patrons, and can also potentially bring in new ones. It can be a confidence builder, or an opportunity for someone to highlight their area of expertise. By offering events like this to all people, we are increasing the diversity of the editors, and helping to correct gender imbalances within Wikipedia. At the same time, we are improving a resource that is used by millions of people all over the world. Best of all, it can be lots of fun!!

NEO-RLS Salary Survey Meeting
We are excited to announce a meeting to discuss the NEO-RLS Salary Survey. This will be part of our Fiscal Officers and Human Resources Network Meeting to be held on December 13 from 10 AM to 3 PM at the Cuyahoga Falls Library. Everyone is invited to attend this important meeting to help guide the process for relaunching this valuable tool.  We will have open discussions on options for moving forward with the survey and analysis as well as proposed costs. We will have sample surveys and ERC will give a presentation. We hope to have many libraries represented so we have a fair amount of feedback.
