It’s summer time! It’s hot outside!

Nobody really feels like working hard – we get this. This is time to do things a little differently, and to have time to kick back and enjoy your work.

CMLE wants to help you to keep your library skills sharp over the summer!

Each week we are establishing a discussion session, where we gather to talk about a different topic relevant to the work we are all doing in libraries. These are casual, lunchtime sessions. You can drop in and out on your own schedule. Bring your lunch, bring a beverage (stop by Target as you come visit us – they are just next door!), and be prepared for some pleasant chatting with colleagues about different library issues.

We have some dates and topics suggested below. But anything relevant to libraries – and that’s a veeeerrrrrryyyy wide definition! – is fine to bring to share and discuss.

We will meet at CMLE HQ: 570 1st Street SE, St Cloud, MN 56304. Come in the front door, and around to our office area. We are setting the official times for this as 11:30 to 1; but we will probably be happy to see you any time!

Join us! Let’s have lunch, chat, and enjoy our summer!
