Good Afternoon and Happy Thursday!

 

If anyone is interested in joining us at 7:00 for our discussion but hasn't signed up yet, you can use this link to join the meeting!  If you aren't able to join us live, it will be recorded and I will post the link on twitter and the listserv.

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. 

 

 

Hope all of you are doing well and hanging in there!!

Good Morning!

 

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:

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
