The National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM), Southeastern/Atlantic Region (SEA) is extending an invitation for network members to join and participate in the Public Libraries Program Advisory Committee (PAC).

The Public Libraries PAC will work cooperatively with April Wright, NNLM All of Us Community Engagement Coordinator, in planning and carrying out committee work. Members are volunteers who not only possess expert knowledge of public libraries but also share an interest and passion to act as conduits of information within their institution and to support health information outreach to the community.

The responsibility of PAC includes:

• Advise NNLM staff on the need for and relative priority of education within the program area.
• Assist with program evaluation.
• Ensure that programming is aligned with local needs.
• Evaluate All of Us Community Engagement or other Public Library Outreach award applications.

The PAC will meet a few times a year via web conferencing software. NNLM SEA will select up to 7 members to participate in this PAC. If you would like to nominate yourself or a colleague as a member, please email April Wright at adwright@hshsl.umaryland.edu.  The deadline to apply is Tuesday October 9, 2018.
