Flowering fruit trees, trails, mountain views, temperatures above 15 degrees. Talking libraries and archives with colleagues. Spring IS coming, even if it doesn’t look that way! The 61st Annual Network Member Meeting will be held this year on Thursday, May 14, from 10am-3pm, at the historic Heaven Hill Farm in Lake Placid.
Planned guests include archivist Erica Ciallela, Instruction and Outreach Librarian, and Tamar Gonen Brown, Head of Education and Outreach, at the Harvard-Radcliffe Institute’s Schlesinger Library. Much like spring, archives will come alive, in a day dedicated to exploring the meaning of authentic engagement with history and what that means—or could mean—for libraries, communities, and us.
Registration is now open for the event. Staff members, board members, and volunteers are welcome, so feel free to invite those for whom this could be a connecting experience.
