I don't know if there are other group members who are associated with LGBT Community centers, but the national leadership conference for CenterLink (the Community of LGBT Centers) is in Milwaukee, http://www.lgbtcenters.org/leadership-summit.aspx and I'd like to extend a personal welcome to any group members who are coming in September.

I'd be very interested in talking to anyone who has ideas/experience in defining/identifying/reaching new patrons for their libraries; we've seen encouraging circulation numbers since we opened in March, but I'd like to crank it up a few notches.

Come on out! If you bring the crackers, I've got the cheese and the beer!

Hi Katie,

Thanks for posting this. I wasn't aware of this group. I checked out their web site and conference info. Looks very interesting and I wish I could attend but unfortunately I'm at a conference for work the week before and not sure I can get away.

Have you talked to them about doing a library track? I'm sure it's too late for this year but maybe in 2012. Did you see my message about meeting in conjunction with Equality Forum in May 2012. This group might be a better fit for us. Most of us are probably trustees or employees at our centers and the overlap could be very positive.
