"Just connect with them!" These are some of the things that Chicago public librarians said to the group of us who met with them on Thursday. Great advice...and is a perfect match to our conference's theme this year. I look forward to seeing future Community Service Programs as a regular part of annual meetings. This gives us an opportunity to perform an advocacy push in the conference city. I found it exciting to speak with a group that I wouldn't be able to pull together at my institution or location (Los Angeles, CA). Hearing ideas and programs that our public librarians are making a reality gave me ideas on how I can collaborate with the local public library branch near my institution. “Just call them!” “Just connect with them!” These are some of the things that Chicago public librarians said to the group of us who met with them on Thursday.
