Postponed Due to Weather--College of DuPage Webcast
POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER
Date: Friday, February 4, 2011
Time: Noon to 1:30 p.m.
Presenters: Mike Galloway and John Ockerbloom
The February 4th teleconference, Free Content for Library Collections has been postponed due to weather. A snowstorm is headed for Chicago and this introduced the possibility that the presenters and program host could not fly in from Philadelphia and Florida.
Therefore, the decision was made to postpone the teleconference for later this winter or early spring of 2011. A past teleconference will air this Friday in its place (the specific program to be determined).
Your support and other Legislative news
WVLC appreciates the support of library directors who tolerated inadequate seating and bad weather to attend the agency’s budget presentations at the House and Senate budget hearings last week.
You may continue to watch the Legislative Update on the Library Commission homepage for information refreshed every Friday.
