As I write this Jason and Wess should have arrived at the El Dorado Hills Library (El Dorado County) about 30 minutes drive east of Sacto. They are delivering the first of the new PAL Islands for loan under the LSTA grant! I am so excited that we were able to make this work for El Dorado County as they have programs in early December where they would like to feature the PAL. I might not have to store one behind the door in my office when we get home.
The reception for the PALs was more than I expected going in. Looking back I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that other libraries are as enthusiastic about them as we are.
So kudos to Jason and Wess for going the extra mile to make this happen. They'll stay the night back here at the hotel then hit the road for home in the morning.
What a great result of the conference - loaning out a PAL Island to a super-interested library. Hope they enjoy it as much as we do. Can't wait to hear their response! Thanks Wess and Jason for taking care of business.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing! I'm so excited that the PALs are so popular!
