Roundtable Update

Thank you all for your patience. It is quite a process beginning something new!

A rough draft of by-laws have been submitted for review. The timeline is to have them "tweaked" and ready for presentation at the August PaLA board meeting. Once the by-laws are approved WE ARE OFFICIAL! Look for the Roundtable on your 2010 PaLA membership renewal form!

In the meantime, I gave a lunchtime "update" at the Southwest Chapter's Spring Workshop in May. And, I will be presenting at Aliquippa's District meeting in July. I have contacted District Consultants in PA for assistance with the session at this year's annual conference in Harrisburg, October 18-21

As you may recall, last year's PaLA session was: "More Cows than People". And, keeping with that theme, on Monday, October 19, 2:30 - 3:30 p.m. the session is entitled: "Udderly Wonderful! Rural & Small Libraries in PA". I want the session to "celebrate" great stories, great innovation and great happenings at rural and small libraries across Pennsylvania.

If you know of a small (serving less than 25,000) or rural library that is "thinking outside the box" and doing amazing things, please let me know! tanner@citlib.org
