<p class="MsoNormal">At Midwest Collaborative for Library Services, we love to serve. Over the last few months, we've been holding online Coffee with the Executive Director meet-ups to answer questions and fill members in on what has been going on at MCLS.
It has been a lot of fun, and we want to include more people in the conversation!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:13.0pt">The next virtual <a href="https://www.mcls.org/training-events/events/coffee-executive-director/">

<p class="MsoNormal">Is there something you've been wondering about MCLS or about libraries in Michigan and Indiana? Something we could do to support you? Are you unsure if MCLS membership would benefit your library? Maybe your library already is a member,
but you’d like to know more about how you can leverage that membership. Now's your chance to ask your questions or tell us your thoughts!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">MCLS Executive Director Randy Dykhuis will be online, ready to chat, on
<b>Friday, September 8, at 9am Eastern (8am Central)</b>. There’s no need to register; just follow the steps on our
<a href="https://www.mcls.org/training-events/events/coffee-executive-director/">
webpage</a> to go to the Zoom meeting. You can join with or without video, ask your questions live or just listen. Whichever way you choose to participate, we'll be excited to have you be part of the conversation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As an added bonus<b>, this month Randy will be introducing our newest staff member, Pam Seabolt, Community Engagement Librarian for Indiana</b>. We’re excited to have Pam on board and hope you’ll take the opportunity to log in and meet
