| Title: | Library Advisory Office Hours |
| From: | 9:00am Monday, August 10, 2026 |
| To: | 10:00am Monday, August 10, 2026 |
| Categories: | Library Advisory Office Hours, Resource Sharing, Trustees & Friends |
| Description: |
Library Advisory Office Hours are open to all Directors, Trustees, Library Friends, and Foundation Members. They are designed to be an open-ended, safe space to ask Al Hayden, Library Advisory Specialist, questions and offer opportunities for interaction among participants. As consistently as possible office hours will be held on the 2nd Monday of each month @ 9AM and the 4th Monday of the month @ 2PM. (When office hours fall on Monday holidays, during conferences, etc. I will do my best to reschedule with as much notice as possible.) Sessions will NOT be recorded and chats will NOT be saved. I may use the topics and questions that come up to inform future training and resources so your Library Advisory resources are as relevant to your needs as possible, but nothing will be associated with any individual(s) or institution. |
