One of the campaigns thought ALA (American Library Association) is Library Card Sign-Up Month.
You can find more information at: http://www.ala.org/conferencesevents/celebrationweeks/card
September is back-to-school and a great time to encourage your community to sign-up for a library card.
I will be sending over an 8 1/2 x 11" of the Snoopy poster as well as some stickers: "I got my library card!". I had a few WAGGIN ones printed, but have also ordered the ones from ALA. I hope to get them this week.
Watch for these items in an upcoming delivery.
THANKS!

District Meetings
Please anticipate the district meetings September - December being held on the second Thursdays.
They will begin at 10:30 a.m. here at the district center unless other-wise indicated.
September 8
October 13
November 10
December 8
The November 10th session will be on Privacy & Confidentiality. Two sessions will be held: one in Uniontown, the other here at the District Center. It is open to staff and boards.
With a unified ILS, it is SO VERY important that your staff is trained in these areas.
We are still seeing examples of "breaches" -- let's call them "bad habits" -- that need to stop.
I am working on a session on Tinkering that will include your children's/programming staff. District Services has purchased several new Maker items with an LSTA Grant from Commonwealth Libraries. I am working on a brochure for September 8th as well as an overview of the items until training can be scheduled.
Please take advantage of any workshops being held by Commonwealth Libraries. It is important to not only get together to network, but to also get out and about to network with others within the region.
There are an abundance of webinars available. Webinars are promoted on PAMAILALL AND in the Compendium. I also try to share information on ones that look helpful.
