I wanted to invite anyone who is interested to a nationwide librarian "cocktail" hour with some of the leaders in our field!! Joyce Valenza had the idea to put this together and a bunch of us are helping to spread the word:)
Hope to see you Thursday night from 7--? :)

Dear friends!
Thanks for signing up to be part of our little "cocktail party."
Of course, beverages are optional. The dress code and the mood--casual.
We are planning a highly interactive gathering, so please be ready to actively share.
In advance, you might consider:
- what your own #MyQuarantineinSixWords would be (ala Jimmy Fallon)
- sharing an insight or resource on our Padlet
- sharing a reflection on our Flipgird. (if prompted for a password, use tlstrong
Because of the number of participants, we've had to migrate from Zoom to Webex where we will have plenty of room.
Password: tlstrong
I sent a Webex invitation just a little while ago. You may feel free to share this invitation with others.
We are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night, Thursday, March 26 at 7:00 PM Eastern!
Stay safe and healthy and check-in on each other,
Joyce and the other members of our #TLStrong team
