We are looking to fill big shoes this year for the Rural Libraries Conference. Glenda Middleton volunteered for a number of years to head up the area of Hospitality for the conference. She was the person that coordinated the basket giveaway, worked with vendors to provide giveaways for the conference bags, and worked to provide other fun activities during the event. Glenda retired last year and we are looking for someone to help coordinate this area and also gather volunteers to help with ideas related to hospitality during the conference. If you are interested in carrying on the tradition, please reply to me directly with your interest and questions. Thank you, Shannon Shannon White Library of Michigan 702 W.

Superiorland Co-op new director
by Suzanne Dees 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

I have been given the happy task of announcing Superiorland Co-op's new director. The Board interviewed four outstanding candidates. Pam Christensen's achievements over a 30+ career in our profession, her network of peers across the state, her work with legislators, and her long-time commitment to multi-type cooperation among libraries of diverse size gave Pam the edge. Plus, as one library director put it, she is fearless and has a great sense of humor! Library directors who served on the Search Committee and attended the interviews congratulated the Board on conducting an open and transparent process. The Cooperative staff is very pleased with the outcome and looking forward to new challenges. Pam's first day on the job will be December 14th. Personal thanks to Marianne Hartzell for her invaluable help with finding a new director. Suzanne Dees Superiorland Library Cooperative 1615 Presque Isle Avenue Marquette, MI 49855 (906) 228-7697 ext 110
