<p class="MsoNormal">I might not be able to accommodate an in-person site visit for everyone who wants one, but I can definitely work in virtual visits. If you’d prefer to do a Zoom visit, I updated my Calendly page. You can request a time here:

<p class="MsoNormal">This is an awesome opportunity for me to hear what’s going on in your library. Any big plans for 2023? I’d love to hear about them. I’m happy to meet with anyone who is new to the system or just wants a refresher. Reach out if those times
don’t work, I’m sure we could figure something out. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning all! I have a goal of trying to do twenty site visits by the end of the year. If you’d like to invite me to your library, please reach out.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any RAILS school is invited to participate. I’m particularly interested in schools that fit the following criteria:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="m_-4053151300055722539MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Do not participate in Find More Illinois<u></u><u></u></li><li class="m_-4053151300055722539MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Do not participate in Axis360/eRead Illinois<u></u><u></u></li><li class="m_-4053151300055722539MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Do not participate in a shared catalog<u></u><u></u></li><li class="m_-4053151300055722539MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Have not had a RAILS staff member visit in the past 2 years, including virtual<u></u><u></u></li><li class="m_-4053151300055722539MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Do not have a staff member on a RAILS board or a board subcommittee<u></u><u></u></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Even if you do not fit the criteria – for example, maybe you participate in Axis360/eRead Illinois – that’s okay! I would still like to visit to find out more about what’s happening at your library. A typical school visit lasts between
30-60 minutes. While I’m there, I would be happy to talk about topics such as: L2, continuing education, grants, support for e-books/audiobooks, support for networking groups, deals & discounts, and more!<u></u><u></u></p>
