[Michlib-l] FW: Friends of Michigan Libraries presents an open-share discussion 11/12/20

[Rebecca Higgerson]

Dear Colleagues,

Please forward this information to your Friends groups.  Sharing
information with one another during this time has helped us all weather the
storm, and we know that our Friends need the same opportunity.  The
sessions below will provide them with information and ideas on how to still
support their libraries until things go back to normal.



Thank  you!
Rebecca Higgerson
