Southeastern Library Services was pleased to have Sally Reed, Executive Director of Friends of Libraries USA (FOLUSA), speak to a mix of librarians, library trustees, and Friends board members on Saturday, April 14th. Sally led an interactive workshop on the many ways to get people more involved with the library, from being a member of the Friends to partnering with service clubs to get someone to be a library supporter, if not user. A number of participants remarked afterward that it was “fabulous”, a great speaker for SLS to have brought in to speak, and very useful to their future plans. Our thanks to Dee Crowner, director of North Liberty Community Library, and the City of North Liberty, for their wonderful hospitality.
