But no events have been canceled as of now. I would be happy to have a virtual Idea Exchange meeting, if the majority think it best. Perhaps, now that we are meeting virtually every other month anyway, we don’t really need to have the “big” meeting. I know nothing beats face-to-face communication, but in the current environment, perhaps virtual is better (and certainly a lot less expensive!). Would someone be willing to set up a poll for this?

Is there any discussion at LOC about possible restrictions on the horizon that will negatively impact our meeting? Is this something we need to consider? thanks for any insights here, Sharon ********* Sharon Shaloo, Executive Director Mass Center for the Book [log in to unmask] 617.872.3718 (office) massbook.org On Thu, Mar 5, 2020 at 10:42 AM Lamolinara, Guy <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Hi—we have it in the budget for $500 for those who need it.
