The Midwest Collaborative for Library Services will hold our first Virtual Dialogue of 2026 next week, on Thursday, January 22, from 10:30 a.m. to noon Eastern (9:30-11 a.m. Central). We will discuss how we can use our strengths and lessons we’ve learned, both as individuals and as a library community, to continue our work and help each other thrive in uncertain times. MCLS Virtual Dialogues are designed to provide those in the library industry opportunities to connect and engage around topics that impact the way we work. These dialogues are not workshops or webinars; they are a way to engage with others in the profession through facilitated dialogue. Please plan to have your microphone enabled and camera on to participate. Registration is open at https://www.mcls.org/training-events/events/virtual-dialogues. If you have any questions, please reach out to engagement@mcls.org<mailto:engagement@mcls.org>. We look forward to connecting with you!
