Library Directors,

Time to get the ball rolling with the ExpressSOS CONNECT partnership! As promised, we are keeping things simple.  Attached are two brief messages you can share with the public through any or all of your established communication channels (newsletter, website, social media, etc.). 

· The first attachment is an informational piece on our new partnership, should you wish to introduce it to your patrons.   

· The second is a critical election alert that we urge you to share between now and Election Day (Aug. 6).  I have also attached an accompanying flyer about the election that can be printed and posted in your library, if you choose to do so. 

Participation in this partnership is, of course, optional though I will always label priority messages as critical to underscore our hope that all libraries will share those particular items with patrons.  Your help in providing the most up-to-date Secretary of State information to the public is greatly appreciated.

Going forward, I will only reach out to you when we have important news to communicate.   At any time, please feel free to contact me with questions, concerns or suggestions. Again, thank you for supporting this effort.

With much gratitude,

Cathleen P. Simlar
