Our time connecting with conference attendees reminded us of how passionate and conscientious library staff are in their approach to serving their communities. We are honored to be a small part of helping you do what you do so well.

It’s a blustery, wet day here in California. It feels like the perfect time to share a couple new winter themed stories with you. 

We had a request for winter story suggestions, so I thought I’d pop in and share a quick list with you before the Thanksgiving holiday. 

Here are some stories you might consider sharing with your communities in the coming months:
