Welcome to the Western Maryland Regional Library's Wave newsletter, created by library staff for library staff! Feel free to reply directly to this email with questions, comments, or compliments! 

Sincerely,
The WMRL Wave Team


Did you know that Allegany, Garrett, and Washington counties' public libraries have squishy circuits? Arduinos? Raspberry Pis? LilyPads? Snap circuits? Conductive thread? Not sure what any of this means? No worries - read about the new coding initiative in libraries and why it is important. 




The Regional Library provides Allegany, Garrett, and Washington counties' public library staff with all sorts of useful tools! Some you may know of but some you may not. Read all about them and when you want to take advantage of any or all of them, just email or call us!



We hear the word budget tossed around in conversations among our administrations and perhaps on listservs but what do non-administrative staff need to know? Mary Baykan, Director, Washington County Free Library boils it down for us in this budget brief
 


Tax season may be over but that doesn't mean our Administrative Coordinators get a break! We asked them to share with us 10 things about themselves that we may not know. For instance, can you guess who doesn't like pickles? Who was struck by lightning when she was 15? Who has visited all 50 states except for North Dakota? Click here to learn the answers to these questions and more!


The Wave is brought to you by the Western Maryland Regional Library, supporting the public libraries of Allegany, Garrett, and Washington counties.
