Partnership Opportunity with GLSEN Hudson Valley


GLSEN LogoHUDSON VALLEY

Librarians in Westchester & Putnam County are invited to a “Think Tank"  meeting

Thursday, June 6th from 4-6 pm

320 Birdsall Drive
Yorktown Heights, NY 10598

RSVP by June 5 -  Mary Jane Karger (mjkarger@gmail.com) or(914) 962-3768
As a current Board Member of the Westchester/Putnam County Sub-Chapter of GLSEN Hudson Valley, I have been working with Mary Jane Karger, Chairperson to find ways that librarians can partner with the work GLSEN does to make schools safe for ALL students, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender expression.

The project idea we are currently working on is a GLSEN Hudson Valley Book Club, based on a “One Book, One Community” model.  We would like to partner with school, public and academic librarians throughout the region and are looking for a group of librarians to take the lead in helping us plan!

I would greatly appreciate if you could forward this to all your library friends in our region so that they too can be a part of this awesome initiative!  Thank You!
