Message from Tim Spindler, Executive Director Maintaining contact and communication with your patrons and stakeholders can be difficult in these times when services have moved remotely. I have heard stories from some academic librarians and school librarians about how difficult it can be to reach students who need resources in the library. With the same concerns and a desire to maintain these relationships, we have set up a liaison program to provide better support for all types of members. Each of our librarians will be your personal contact to provide guidance for you and your needs. Archives, Historical Societies, Museums - Nicole Menchise Academic, Hospital, and Special Libraries - Sally Stieglitz Public Libraries, School Libraries, and Systems - Tim Spindler This does not change any of the services LILRC is providing, but every library has a "go to person" they can rely on to guide them about their LILRC membership and the services available. I also don’t want to forget about the need of addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in our profession. LILRC continues to set up continuing education programs related to these topics. The 29th Annual Conference on Libraries and the Future: Diversity, Democracy and Engagement includes an excellent lineup of speakers. Nancy Kranich, Special Projects Research Librarian and faculty at Rutgers University, will examine engagement in libraries. She will be our keynote, opening the conference. Elaine Gross, president of Erase Racism, will be talking about promoting diversity in libraries. We will round out the conference with Ryan Dowd who wrote the Librarian’s Guide to Homelessness and who has ongoing workshops on working with the homeless. We also have an excellent program planned on November 29 with Loida Garcia-Febo. She was the ALA President for 2018-2019 and is an international library consultant, researcher, and expert on topics such as human rights, advocacy and services to multicultural populations. She will be presenting a program on recruiting for diversity. In addition to these programs we have the Role of Communication in Promoting Diversity (Sept. 17) and Diversity and Inclusion in 2020 (Oct. 13), the second part of a two part series. From the LILRC team, we are wishing you a healthy and safe fall. - Tim Spindler
