[Libs-Or] Summer Reading virtual activities provided by the NLS and Talking Books

[BRUTON Elke H * SLO]

Hello Library Friends of Oregon,

The National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS) is hosting several virtual Summer Reading activities this year and they have invited ALL to attend!  While we could keep these great speakers and events to ourselves and our Talking Books' patrons, we thought we might see how many of your library users would be interested in joining us!  All events are listed in the EASTERN time zone (EDT), so be sure to update the start time if you advertise any or all of the events taking place this summer.

Attendees must register to attend each of these free summer reading events, which will be held virtually on Zoom. Links to each event are posted on the NLS Summer Reading 2023 page on the Network Library Services website at www.loc.gov/nls/network/welcome/resources/summer-reading<http://www.loc.gov/nls/network/welcome/resources/summer-reading/>. Please note that most of these events will not be recorded or posted online due to our agreements with the authors and publishers. Patrons will not have an opportunity to view these events at a later date if they do not attend.

Here is the schedule:


  *   Kickoff event (all ages): Monday, June 26, at 4:00 pm EDT, with Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla Hayden.
