In honor of our 50th Anniversary, we're catching up with our original partner libraries. We've asked staff members from each library to reflect on their shared history with Minitex and update us on how their institutions have grown and changed over the years. This week, we're checking in with Carla Powers, Library Manager at Duluth Public Library.
Registration will close at noon on Monday, November 8th for the Minitex Technical Services Symposium. This year’s theme is Good Trouble: Activism and Ethics in Technical Services. The program will feature keynote speaker Beth Shoemaker, Emory University, who will discuss how we navigate ethical principles and turn those into daily practice. The second keynote will be Kenda Zellner-Smith, founder of Save the Boards Minneapolis, which seeks to preserve the art created after the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. Six breakout sessions will follow the keynote presentations. Visit the website for the full program and to register for this event. The fee to attend is $25.00.
MARC records are now available for the sixth chapter of One Book | One Minnesota, The Song Poet, which is available until December 19th.
