The joint VLA/NHLA Library Leadership Workshop featuring ALA-President Maureen Sullivan planned for May 6th in Manchester, NH has been cancelled due to a scheduling conflict with Maureen’s calendar. At this time, there are no plans to reschedule this workshop. VLA and NHLA will continue to explore other partnership opportunities that will benefit our members by enriching our profession and strengthening our libraries.
Maureen Sullivan, ALA President and Simmons management guru, will once again lead a Vermont/New Hampshire Library Leadership Day. Save the date—Monday, May 6, 2013. This year the Manchester City Library in New Hampshire is hosting the event—so start thinking carpools. Library Leadership Day is sponsored by the Vermont Library Association and the New Hampshire Library Association.

Outreach Coordinator Meet & Greet
Hello Fellow Outreach Coordinators,
I am the Outreach Coordinator at the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. I’ve been thinking for quite a while that I’d love the opportunity to gather with other Outreach folks to find out how other libraries provide outreach and also to exchange ideas. I am taking a page from the book of our children’s librarian, Jane Napier. She coordinates a state-wide meeting of children’s librarians twice a year. I am proposing to meet on Tuesday, October 9th, here at the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier from 10 – 12:30. We could continue the discussion over lunch at one of Montpelier’s fine eateries.
Please let me know if you can attend by September 28th. My email is: khloutreach@kellogghubbard.org
Looking forward to meeting and exchanging ideas!
All the best,
Rachael Grossman
