f-y-i, SWON - formerly the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services, now known as SWON, (I forget what the acronym stands for) is presenting a Public Library Adult Program Planners Network on Wednesday, September 14, 2011 from 2:00 - 4:00 at Campbell County Public Library - Newport Branch. (just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati) It is FREE - light snacks will be provided. Their description of the meeting is as follows: Join other adult programmers for a discussion and sharing session. We will explore opportunities for libraries to collaborate across systems on programs, share programming ideas, discuss successes and difficulties, and share program planning tips. ...so please join our conversation. This may count toward employee CIU requirements. This program sounds more beneficial to me than any program I attended last autumn at ILF. Jan
