Ohio Valley Group of Technical Services Librarians <br>
MAY 17-19, 2020 -- UNIVERSITY OF AKRON, AKRON, OHIO <br>
Technical Services librarians are faced with multiple changes in workflows, budgets, and technology. There has been plenty of talk about the future, but the future is now and we have decisions and choices to make today. What practices and workflows should we
adopt now to thrive in a climate of ongoing change? <br>
Join us at the OVGTSL 2020 conference to discuss Technical Services Today. <br>
Learn more about the 2020 Conference (and pre-conference map cataloging workshop) and watch for the Call for Proposals soon!

Rising Star Award! The award is given to an individual who has worked in libraries less than 5 years but is already making a huge impact. Beverly Cain, State Librarian of Ohio, judges the nominations, selecting three finalists and the winner. This year
Beverly said that the pool of nominees was outstanding with every one of them making a noticeable difference in their library and community. Finalists will be recognized at our annual
<a href="https://mms.neo-rls.org/Calendar/moreinfo.php?eventid=53282">Membership Meeting & Appreciation Breakfast
</a>where the winner will be announced. However, I wanted to give you a sneak peek. The top three finalists for 2019 are Angelica (Angie) George, a Youth Associate at the Heights Libraries; Tabitha Johnson, Branch Supervisor of the Tuscarawas Branch, Tuscarawas
County Public Library System; and Kalyn Kappelman, Training and Special Projects Coordinator at Reed Memorial Library (recently began as Branch Services Librarian – Generalist at the Warrensville Heights Branch, Cuyahoga County Public Library). We congratulate
the finalists and other nominees and applaud their commitment to their positions, their libraries and their communities. We also thank those who nurtured the nominees, recognizing their creativity, passion, and results, and taking the time to share that with
us. We are excited and humbled to be a part of a larger library community filled with such talent and commitment at every level. Congratulations finalists!
