<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Collaborating Partners are committed to providing timely, relevant and thoughtful workshops for the Michigan library community. After careful consideration and input from library staff around the state,
we have decided to cancel the “<i>Who Are We?”</i> workshop scheduled for November 15, 2019.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Our intent is to revisit the agenda for a Spring workshop to make certain that the day provides authoritative information, considerate discourse, and represents varying perspectives. Collaborative Partner
workshops are designed and presented to cover topics that are valuable to library administration, staff, and board members in serving patrons and supporting employees.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Thank you for your interest and support as we move forward.
