Thanks to all who attended today! It was a good discussion on how summer programming went, a glimpse at some great MeL resources from Laura Warren-Gross the new MeL Engagement Specialist, a conversation & activity on how we might grow <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_X58gXHGeQYNb-0c0RmMKYwduL9aU8SGaXP0ZdegwBE/edit?usp=sharing> to meet community needs with programming, and we created a spreadsheet for in-library use on sharing any virtual and/or passive programming<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b67ewVzsCIa7jJaPyPPTRh0R4znL_Xx9PiZ5pfi1iGQ/edit?usp=sharing> with each other to help support our work. Feel free to add to these spreadsheets - remember if you include a virtual program w/link information then other libraries can help cross-promote. Finally, here's today's chatbox<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GPN7PwoFQgYLzkfA6lRVlAvAU5a-vYvxj56mldb34lE/edit?usp=sharing> with many of the shares (I've added prompts that were asked of the group in the comments to help makes sense of the flow).
