    Hello everyone! I am excited to introduce Page Turners, the NCSLMA Grown-Up Book Club!

    This idea grew from Brew Crew (if you're not attending Brew Crews, you really should - we talk about a LOT of stuff). We brainstormed and thought this format could work best for our members.  

    This a crowd-sourced book club. We will meet monthly on the 3rd Saturday of each month at 9:30am with a new book at each meeting. The book titles will be submitted and voted on by people who sign up. We use rank-choice voting to decide the winner. :-)

    The meeting schedule will be as follows:

    • October 2024- Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books by Kirsten Miller (at conference on Wed., Oct. 2 at 8:15pm)

    • November 2024- The Faculty Lounge by Jennifer Mathieu

    • December 2024- TBA

    The link for our Google Meet will be in your confirmation e-mail. 

    Please visit the Page Turners webpage at ncslma.org/pageturners for information and for the discussion forum. Contact Book Club Coordinator Jennifer Long with any questions.

    We want to let all of our members know that we are devastated about the damage done by Hurricane Helene across many of our communities. We know that many of you are facing significant challenges, from road closures to loss of electricity and water, and some have seen damage to your homes and libraries.

    In an effort to support our members who have experienced damage to their school libraries, our Regional Directors are allocating the proceeds from this year's regional basket raffle towards a Disaster Relief Grant. This grant will be made available to help members whose library collections have been damaged by flooding or other storm-related impacts. If you would like to donate money towards this grant and are unable to attend the conference, checks can be mailed to 

    NCSLMA, Attn: Disaster Relief Grant
    3333 North Main Street, Suite 126 #150
    Hope Mills, NC 28348

    Or you can donate online using this link. NCSLMA will match total donations up to $1000. 

    Our thoughts are with all of you as you navigate these challenging times. Please don't hesitate to reach out if we can be of any assistance. We are stronger together, and we will continue to support one another in every way possible.
