Greetings, all!
We had a great turnout at our first-ever "Combined Area Virtual Event" on Thursday, Oct. 29th... 

Our Bubble Bubble Toil and Trouble was a fun way to connect members from MetroWest, Northeast and other areas, too, all dressed up and ready to scare up some potions for overcoming this crisis,.
Many thanks to Barb Fearless Fecteau and Laura Haunted Harrington for collaborating on this. The attendees were in good spirits as we discussed what's working, what isn't, and how are are all coping! It was the first, but it won't be the last!

​
NEXT ON THE AGENDA... Nominate a colleague (or yourself!) for an Award! Below are examples of the recent winners. Nominations will be opening soon -- think about how you can highlight the creativity of a librarian!
