Minutes: Sadie
- University of Washington Exchange
- Went very well. Thanks to everyone who helped out!
- Bus tickets did not end up being used. Anna has bought them.
- If we want to continue the exchanges, we need to get on it quickly. UoW operates on a fairly strict cohort system, so if we don’t communicate now then we will be dealing with all new people in September.
- Programming panel
- Also went very well!
- Matthew took some photos.
- Sara Green said she had a great time and is open to people contacting her to discuss public libraries and/or community work.
- We may want to consider doing a panel on a similar topic again, as it was extremely popular with the students. Some said it was the best panel they had attended at SLAIS (yay!).
- Tote bags/Swag
- May just let this topic fade away. Those present at the meeting were not huge fans of making more stuff that then take up space.
- We can consider doing a screen printing event if people are really interested in making tote bags.
- Freedom to Read Week
- February 24th, 9am-3:30pm
- Discussion panel at noon
- Need to do internal group emails to drum up attendance.
