ALA is offering an ALA Connect Live on May 21 at 2:30 Eastern will focus on "COVID-19 and the Well-being of Library Workers" To register, visit www.ala.org/membership/ala-connect-live-monthly-series<http://www.ala.org/membership/ala-connect-live-monthly-series>. This will be a town hall-inspired conversation to allow for an open dialogue with the Executive Board and with your fellow library professionals. In times of uncertainty, connection and conversation are more important than ever. This is what inspired the ALA Executive Board to launch a series of monthly conversations with you, our membership community. Initially a focus of President-Elect Julius C. Jefferson, Jr. to connect with members, ALA Connect Live is an opportunity to bring the ALA family and library community together to discuss our issues and challenges. These town hall-inspired conversations allow for an open dialogue with the Executive Board and with your fellow library professionals. The April conversation focused on COVID-19 and the Library Community Response<https://ala-events.zoom.us/rec/play/usEucbj6_D03HtWUuQSDA6QtW9S0KK-s0SQb8_Beyku8BXkCN1ajZbtDZLNiCDy5I8j5KnnQFIIztd7n?continueMode=true&_x_zm_rtaid=VPZcV7QYSg-oy9yDc2_eTw.1588266037642.b00c15e25594070cf8c9e6a98c330b78&_x_zm_rhtaid=437>.
