Have you ever visited the American Library Association headquarters? I hadn’t! Several weeks ago Linda Walton (our fair leader), Bobbi Newman (outreach specialist) and I made the trip to the Windy City to meet with the two Public Library Association (PLA) co-directors. This visit was part of the process of planning a partnership between NNLM’s regional medical libraries and PLA for a year long initiative, which our office is leading. This photo was taken by an enthusiastic public librarian on the steps of ALA’s headquarters downtown Chicago.
While we were in the area, we made a visit to one of our hospital library members, Lisa Jacob, at the Illinois Masonic Medical Center, a part of the Advocate Health Care system. Lisa introduced us to her team (and I confiscated their business cards) and gave us a tour of the library at Masonic. Like most of our hospital library members, Lisa is dealing with the challenges of changing spaces and personnel. I want to thank Lisa for her time, but especially for the delicious must-be-fried-in-lard donuts that she served Linda and I!
Stay tuned for more information on our network member visits and our budding plans for a successful partnership with PLA.
