[Martín Blasco]

Hi Everyone:

The Outreach Round Table is now accepting nominations for the Vice-Chairperson/Chairperson-Elect for September 2013-August 2014. The Vice-Chairperson/Chairperson-Elect shall be responsible for taking and preparing minutes; assisting the Chairperson in planning workshops, meetings, and projects; and assuming the responsibilities of the Chairperson if he/she is unable to continue in that position. In 2013-2014 the Vice-Chairperson will work closely with the Chairperson to plan 1-2 workshops during the year for ORT members and participate in planning any program sessions offered during the 2014 OLA Conference.

About the Outreach Round Table: The ORT provides a framework for information sharing, continuing education and moral support for library workers currently providing outreach services; and to offer opportunities for networking and encouragement to libraries wishing to expand or develop library outreach services. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to library service to people of all ages who can no longer use a library facility due to either a physical or mental impairment, people who live in rural or remote area without a library, non-English speakers, the incarcerated, the homeless, and low-literacy adults. More information can be found on the ORT webpage: http://www.olaweb.org/outreach-roundtable-home.

If you are interested in nominating yourself or someone else, please send me an email with a statement of interest and a brief bio. We will accept nominations through September 2013 then call for a vote shortly after. If you have further questions before deciding, please send me an email martinb at wccls.org<mailto:martinb at wccls.org>.

Thank you,


Martín Blasco – current ORT chair
