Save the date for State of the Libraries – December 6, 2017

Please save the date of December 6 for the 2017 State of the Libraries. The program will begin with poster presentations at 11 a.m., and lunch will be served around noon. This will be followed by a priorities update from Krisellen Maloney at 12:30 p.m. Then we will welcome our featured speaker Calvin Lai for a presentation on implicit bias. The event will take place at the College Avenue Student Center. Hopefully you can make it!
