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

Ceal Moran’s Genealogy Day “Get Together”
Providing generic information and support for the Family History hobby since 2010!
Thursday August 9, 2012 – Noon to 8 pm ( open house format )
C. P. Smith Elementary School
332 Ethan Allen Parkway in Burlington, Vermont
This is a new “holiday” that has been created to help us remember relatives that have died. Kind of like combining Valentine’s Day along with Thanksgiving! Plus, it’s a good reason to call someone special – keeping those communication channels open. This in itself will go a long way in keeping YOUR FAMILY HISTORIES alive.
