Turning the Page 2.0 Statewide Kickoff!
If you, your staff, your trustees and friends have not yet done so, please consider joining us for the Fall session of Turning the Page 2.0, the 6-week free online course in advocacy from the Public Library Association and supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation who know the importance of these skills. Many Vermont librarians and trustees have taken this course and used what they learned to help their library.
Whether you have a capital campaign starting up, want to prepare each year for Town Meeting, hope to add staff or programming, or simply want to get a well-focused and well-honed message out to your community with a strong, coordinated voice, this training is tremendous.
Meanwhile, registration is OPEN at: http://www.ala.org/pla/

Vermont Library Conference Planners Want to Hear From You!
It’s time to call for ideas for workshops for the Spring 2013 conference. We offer what librarians tell us they want, so if you haven’t seen the kind of workshops you want at conference in the last few years, now’s the time to let us know what you want to see. Keynote ideas are always welcome as well. Please send proposals and ideas to jnapier@kellogghubbard.org by November 1.
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
