 NEO-RLS News-October 5, 2022 | ||||||

The cool temperatures and changing leaves mean it is that time of year again… NEO-RLS Letters of Intent (LOI) will be going out this week! The LOI is the primary document used to plan the NEO-RLS budget for the next fiscal year. Emailed out each year in October, the LOI includes information regarding membership dues and fees for various services such as Technology Kits, CE events, and consulting. We ask that each library state their “intent” regarding their NEO-RLS membership by returning their LOI by December 31st. We use the number of returned LOI to more confidently plan programs and services for the coming year. We appreciate the ongoing support of Northeast Ohio libraries and look forward to planning meaningful opportunities and providing valuable resources in service to our members in 2023-2024.
