Melissa held several positions prior to coming to SCHS, including ones at Albany Public Library and the Adirondack Museum. Welcome Melissa!
The 2014-2015 Documentary Heritage Program grant application deadline is Monday, March 3rd. CDLC welcomes Ben Himmelfarb, an intern from the University at Albany. Among other projects, Ben will be working with Susan D'Entremont, Regional Archivist & Digitization Project Coordinator and Ilka Morse, Digitization Field Trainer, to add images from Albany Public Library's local history collection to New York Heritage. At its November 2013 workshop, "Learning About Literacy," CALA, the Capital Area Library Assistants, an interest group of CDLC, donated to the Literacy Volunteers of Rensselaer County and learned about the important work of this organization. Does your library participate in the Empire Library Delivery service? You may have some spare bags you're not using. If so, please put them back into the system; some libraries are experiencing "bag shortages" and we want everyone to have the resources they need to share their material. Thank you! |
