The Library Support and Development Services Division would like to invite you to visit the Oregon State Library on Monday, October 27, 2014, from 9:30 - 1:00. You will meet with the State Librarian, Library Support and Development Services consultants and Talking Book and Braille Library staff. You will also get a tour of the State Library and there will be plenty of time for staff to answer any questions. If you have other staff that you would like to attend, feel free to bring them! You are welcome to stay for a no-host lunch with the Library Support and Talking Books staff after the tour. Instead of going out to lunch, I will be ordering lunch to be delivered around 1 pm. I will be sending options with prices as RSVP's are received. Please let me know if you are interested in attending by 4 p.m. on Friday, October 10, 2014.
