State Librarian Martha Reid will be “on the road” in November and December to talk about current projects and activities at the Department of Libraries and to get feedback from the Vermont library community.  Librarians/ library staff, library trustees, local officials, and citizens are all welcome to attend one of the scheduled presentations. There will be plenty of time for Q&A and so bring your questions and comments.

Topics will include:
