The first Statewide Gathering is less than three weeks away! The deadline to register is now closed – but – there are three more this year! Our previous post covers the agenda, purpose, and lists all four dates and locations, which can be found here in case you missed it. 

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at the gatherings! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions via LibAnswers.  

See our previous Statewide Gathering post for additional information. Keep an eye on the Compendium for more details and registration information, and we hope to see you there!
