Greetings! 

Local Gatherings of Church Librarians?

Last Thursday those of us in Nashville had a Meet & Greet gathering to launch our new Middle Tennessee Church Library Ministry Network. The planning team is thrilled that we had a total of 10 librarians show up! We had a great experience getting to know each other, touring the host church library, talking about moving forward with quarterly gatherings, putting some topics on a list for discussion, and finding ways to help churches in middle Tennessee. Our next gathering will be in January. If you live in Middle Tennessee and would like to be added to our email list, email me (churchlibrariansnetwork@gmail.com). 

If you live in an area that has this kind of group that meets on a regular basis, would you share what you do and how you do it? Click here.
