PaLA SCC at the Annual Conference

Thanks to the 30 library staff member from South Central Chapter who gathered at Sly Fox Brewing Company in Royersford for our chapter dine-out. It was so great to hang out for the evening with all of you.

Chapter members who attended received buttons to wear on Tuesday, and when identified by secret spotters at secret times, three of them received $15 gift certificates for the PaLA Store.

Winners this year were Barbara Scull (Middletown Public Library), Linda Moffet (East Shore Area Library) and Sarah Weeks (Clarion graduate student and Cumberland County Library System intern.) Congratulations!

Ice Cream Social - Updated

Just a little sad news... You won't be able to meet Glenn Miller, PaLA’s executive director, at our ice cream social. He won't be in the office. But we expect you will get to meet Kim and Ellen, and of course, other PaLA members.


Cancel your plans. Come eat ice cream with us!
