Yet Another Way to Share Your Projects With Colleagues!
We are continuing to build our Tapas Learning collection of short, sharable lessons about a wide variety of library services and now have a second option for you to share YOUR project. Our first method of sharing was to feature 2-20 minute recorded lessons. We are now able to offer you the opportunity to present a live “show and tell” or “poster” session of 20-50 minutes duration. We will host you on Zoom, record your live “show and tell” or “poster,” post it on YouTube and link it to our Tapas Learning webpage. Share your ideas, share your projects, share your expertise. Contact Holly Klingler for more information on how to share what you are working on, get some input from colleagues, and inspire others.

Mark Your Calendars for the NEO-RLS 2020 Membership and Appreciation Meeting!
This year our Membership and Appreciation Meeting will be held virtually on Tuesday, November 17, 2020 from 10:45 -12:45. We will welcome our new State Librarian, Wendy Knapp, who will speak about her vision for the State Library of Ohio. In addition, the leadership of many of Ohio’s library organizations will speak on the topic – “Look to the Future: Next Steps after the Pandemic.” We will present the NEO-RLS Rising Star, Shooting Star and Advocacy Awards and will end by honoring all of those that participated in the life of NEO-RLS over the course of the year, helping to bring our region excellent continuing education opportunities and building a better regional for you! We hope that you will join us.
