Call for Submissions: September 2019 Trumpet

Good afternoon, everyone! While winding down from the busy summer season, it's time for you to think about submitting to the September Trumpet! We are looking for members to contribute to Member News, Professional Highlights, Heard it in the J-Room, Best Thing I Read in a Children's Book, recommendations for programmers/vendors, and Layover at the Library (visit to a library on vacation). Submissions can be sent to jads4624@gmail.com by August 15th.

Looking for Presenters: CLASC Annual Membership Meeting

Has your library or department embraced the Makerspace movement in a big way? If so, would you be willing to share your success stories with the CLASC membership?

CLASC is seeking librarians willing to do a brief presentation (5-10 minutes max) on the great makerspace work your library or department is doing. If you have a dedicated Makerspace, that's GREAT, but we'd love to hear from libraries who are rocking this trend even without a fixed space. You'd be among 1 or 2 other librarians sharing your stories at CLASC's Annual Membership Meeting on Tuesday, November 19th, 6:30 pm at Patchogue/Medford Library.

If you would be interested, email Marybeth Kozikowski as soon as possible at marybeth.kozikowski@sachemlibrary.org.

Looking forward to hearing from you and about the great work your library is doing!
