NLS Operations Alert
No. 21-49
DATE : July 8, 2021
TO : Network Libraries
FROM : Kristen Fernekes, Head, Communications and Outreach Section
SUBJECT : Small-group meetings about outreach resources and strategies
The Communications and Outreach Section at NLS is always interested in hearing from our network libraries regarding their outreach strategies and
activities in order to best understand what works, what hasn’t, and how we can better support you in these efforts.
With that in mind, we are planning a series of small-group meetings on these topics. In the long term, we’ll be sharing more information on outreach
on the national level and will seek to learn more about the work you’re doing locally across the country.
In order to promote conversation and input, we would like to keep our groups small. I ask that you please send me the names, titles, and contact email
for one or two staff members at your library who work on outreach and public engagement.
Based on this list, will be sending out invitations and agendas later this summer for our meetings. Working with my colleague Amanda Mita, the head
of NLS’s Reference Section, our first topic of discussion will be print and collateral resources.
We look forward to speaking with you soon.
