It's that time again! Planning for the 2020 Loleta Fyan Small & Rural Libraries Conference has already started. Our next SRLC will be April 13-April 15, 2020 at the Grand Traverse Resort in Acme, Michigan. The Library of Michigan is looking for energetic volunteers to fill key roles on the steering committee for the 2020 Small & Rural Libraries Conference. The Small & Rural Libraries Conference has a long tradition of providing a forum for the staff, trustees, and advocates of Michigan's small and rural libraries to share, learn and be inspired to provide the best library service to their communities. The steering committee as a whole will serve as the program committee. Responsibilities will include evaluating program proposals and aiding in determining the agenda for the conference. Each member of the steering committee will also serve as chair for the following vital and valued sub-committees: Volunteers, Hospitality, Awards, Vendors and Fun & Games. Each of the chairs will be responsible for selecting committee members to work with during the planning stages of the conference and at SRLC itself. Steering committee members will exercise considerable independent judgment in the work of their committees while collaborating with the Library of Michigan in the planning and organization of this conference. The first meeting of the steering committee will be this summer. If you are interested in working on SRLC 2020 in any capacity, please respond to me via email at atkine@michigan.gov<mailto:atkine@michigan.gov> by Friday, June 28.Thank you, Evette Atkin Evette M.
