It is hard to believe that it is once again summertime, where programming in most libraries changes a bit for a few months. We know the public libraries gear up for summer reading programs, but academic and K-12 typically slow down, or go on summer hiatus. Work in the CMLE office changes too, as summer is our time for retooling, administrative work,  and special projects. Yes, and we will try to squeeze in a little much needed vacation time too!

Reminders

• The end date for the 23 Mobile Things Program is June 15th! Will you be done so we can get you a completion prize and also put your name in a drawing for a bigger cool prize? We hope so! We are stumped on what would be a great prize that would suit everyone’s dreams. Email your prize ideas (up to $200 value) our way. Note:  If you have not requested all of your badges be sure to do so in order to get in the drawing. We will rely solely on the badges to enter your name in the drawing!
• Are you curious and/or passionate about eBooks and feel strongly about the need for your organization to get more involved with eBooks? Now is a pivotal time to get involved. Go to http://www.mnebook.org to get information about free webinars that will lead up to a MN eBook Summit in August at St. Catherine University.

A Few Items to Note

• The CMLE Office is closed on Fridays from June 6th through August 29, 2014
• The Thursday Weekly Review email message recapping our blog posts, will cease during the above time period. So, next week, June 5th is our last edition for this fiscal/academic year!
• Our CMLE blogging activities will cease for the most part during this time period too!
• Email will be used to share any news or information that is urgent in nature and cannot wait until September.

Watch for a blog post next wrapping up this fiscal year!
