Weekly Update – October 7, 2014
Getting in some face time
On Thursday, October 2, 2014, more than 30 staff from 17 libraries met in South Whitley, and on Friday, October 3, 2014, the meeting at Greensburg was attended by 25 staff representing 11 libraries. Lively discussions brought many interesting experiences and questions to light! We are delighted to have had the opportunity to hear directly from so many staff and that you were able to join us. A special thanks to South Whitley Community Public Library and Greensburg-Decatur County Contractual Public Library for hosting!
