Get ready for Summer with our Reader’s Advisory!

Ruby Soutiere from Materials Selection will share some of her favorite resources for finding good reads and we’ll have table discussions
about genre-specific suggestions in Street Lit, Graphic Novels, Inspirational Fiction, Suspense and Paranormal titles.

Plus, we want you to bring your favorites to share with the group:

We recapped pros and cons of the CONNECT forum on March 8th and shared feedback from coworkers. Dr. Brown was a hit, with several people asking if she could be an annual guest speaker. Those in attendance also appreciated learning about the Northwest library from Donna Morris and Todd Olberding. We have taken into consideration the main complaint of no snacks available and will remedy that for the next forum!

The CONNECT Planning Committee is pleased to present:

Dr. Cecelia Brown, Professor & Director
The School of Library and Information Studies - The University of Oklahoma

Dr. Brown will give an overview of trends in the library profession and take questions from the audience.

Additional Guests:

• Kim Terry, Director of Marketing & Communications
• Todd Olberding, Director of Construction Management

In order to attend, you must have permission from your Supervisor!

The group looked over the survey results compilation and discussed the responses given.

Barbara Beasley suggested that the items we could feasibly address fall into three main categories.
