***Please Excuse Cross Posting*** Hello all, I am sorry to have to share that our Annual Upper Peninsula Region of Library Cooperation Conference scheduled in September of 2020 has been cancelled. The Conference Committee felt that this was the best decision given the fact that our venue is no longer available and things are still so uncertain. We will still be having a membership meeting and more information will be made available about that soon to that group. Thank you, Shawn ****************************** Shawn Andary Director Superiorland Library Cooperative (906) 228-7697 ext. 2 sandary(a)uproc.lib.mi.us "Bad libraries build [only] collections, good libraries build services, great libraries build communities." -R.
