New Books at FLLS If you did not receive the spring catalogue of New Books to the Finger Lakes Collection (bright green booklet) at the April System Meeting, please let me know and I’ll send one out to you. The summer catalogue will be available at the June system meeting.
Summer Reading Update Thanks to those of you who have sent me your listing of summer programs and activities! I’d love to have the calendar available at the beginning of July, so if you haven’t sent me your events, please get them to me as soon as possible.

Last month, I sent out yet another survey asking what would be the best day to come to the FALCONS meetings and System Meetings. The vote is in and the majority still says Thursday is the best day to come. For those of you who have a difficult time getting here on Thursdays, please give me a call and maybe I can help you with some creative juggling of time/staff. As we plan upcoming workshops, other than System Meetings and FALCONS, we hope to be able to schedule them on days other than Thursday.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
