weekly newsletter Note. The Notes have varied in length, subject and, yes, even in quality. There are the weeks when I have read something that I want to bring to your attention, the weeks when I want to tell you what is happening at NEO-RLS, and the weeks
when I want to share something that has occurred. There have also been the weeks when I have racked my brain for something to write and have come up with very little. All told, I have written approximately 300 Notes. That’s a lot of Notes, especially considering
that I never realized it would be something I would be doing on a regular basis. Occasionally, others write the Note and today, I am writing to ask you to think about writing a Note. Is there something you would like to share? Something that you have been
doing, reading or thinking about that you feel would be of interest to others in the region?

<br>
Interested in learning more about library building projects? In this session, we will cover an overview of common terms, provide sample design and construction timelines, share examples for communicating with patrons, as well as, review land selection criteria,
and considerations for when to renovate or build new. At the end of the session, we will provide an overview of the upcoming sessions. There will be ample time for questions. The session will be facilitated by Wendy Tressler, MLIS, Director of Capital Planning
& Project Management, Columbus Metropolitan Library. Wendy has worked on library building projects of all shapes and sizes for over a decade. She also is active with ALA Core Building & Operations Section serving on the Building & Operations Leadership Committee.
