This past Sunday we hosted NY Times Bestselling RomCom Author, Casey Mcquiston, at the Downtown Library. We had 180+ in attendance for our author talk and book signing and are thankful to all our past and present Metro friends who were in the audience! We've received some really lovely feedback from our community and would love to hear more if it comes your way! I wanted to share some photos from the afternoon and give a special thanks to the following folks for all their hard work to make Sunday so special.

Below is a report submitted to Commission and our partners (Kirkpatrick Foundation, Oklahoma Contemporary Art Center, ArtDesk) about the first 6-8 months of the Oklahoma Contemporary Art Reference Library. There is also a PDF of the report attached. Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback about the collection. I am grateful for the work of so many people and departments across the system that have made this a success.
If you haven't visited the collection or taken the training, please let me know if you would like more information.

Summary
We need Engagement staff's help on two different summer reading promotional tasks. We need 5-7 TikTok style summer reading commercials for Middle and High School students. We also need 5 DIY Storytime handouts that can be combined and offered to daycares with information about signing up their students for summer reading. Both will need to be submitted by April 1st.
