We have shared a lot of library experience in our Linking Our Libraries podcast. (Subscribe in any podcast app, or stream on our website!)

In our upcoming Season Seven, we want to share some stories of your pandemic work in your library.

What happened when your school closed down? How did you think about reopening? What did you do to provide online services? How did you work to reach out to your community? What are some of your plans for the upcoming school year?

Things are weird. This is our first global pandemic, and sadly nobody has as really cool handbook with all the rules written down. So we don’t know the best way forward.

But sharing our stories, collecting ideas, and working together to keep providing library services is probably the best way for all of us to succeed.

We are looking for stories from anyone in a library, who is doing anything at all there.

So, what do you do to participate? (Spoiler: it’s pretty easy!)

• Send us a couple of days and times you are available to record. It will take about 20-ish minutes to chat, and a few minutes to get things set up.
• Have a microphone. It can be an actual mic, or a set of headphones. Not a phone, not the mic hidden inside your computer. We want to be sure you sound good!
• We’ll set up a date. We will chat. It will fun.

And, that’s it!

We like to keep things moving, and to keep it all positive.

Come ready to talk about the good stuff, the harder stuff, and your plans for the future.

If you have any questions, or you want to chat about some ideas you have, let us know!

You can reach out any time to admin@cmle.org.

Looking forward to chatting with you!
