\"GMRHave 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.<\/p>\n

While we were in the area, we made a visit to one of our hospital library members, Lisa Jacob, at the Illinois Masonic\u00a0Medical 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!<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more information on our network member visits and our budding plans for a successful partnership with PLA.<\/p>\n
