Greetings LAB Members,

We hope you are all well and safely adjusting to the changes COVID-19 has brought to our libraries and personal lives.

These times have been a challenge for LAB as well.  Our theater night in February was cancelled; the spring service project was never scheduled, and our banquet, usually held in August, will not take place this year. Because of the impact of COVID-19 and the uncertain future, the Executive Board has agreed to temporarily place LAB on “inactive” status. As soon as it is feasibly safe to resume our group’s events, we will return to “active” status and notify the membership.

On a business note, the Board has approved a change to our bylaws that will align LAB’s fiscal and membership years. Formerly, the fiscal year ran from July 1 through June 30 and membership used a calendar year from January 1 – December 31.  Now both will use a calendar year.  A call for membership renewals will be made in late 2020 by our Membership chair, Ashely Huser, and the dues paid will cover membership for the 2021 calendar year.

If you are interested in becoming a member of LAB’s Executive Board, volunteering for events or have suggestions, please be in contact with a board member.

Stay safe. Stay well.

LAB’s Executive Board, 2019/2020
