Timeline+for+Libraries

The following items (bottom of page) are on an out-of-date library timeline for events, procedures, and activities. Here's a great opportunity to build a usable timeline reference for library events; update each section to reflect new systems, programs, and events. Include static marketing events, (such as Banned Books Week, Women's History Month, etc.). School specific events (such as poetry slams, staff appreciation days, etc.) should not be added to this space. This is a general space for holiday, ALA, and national library events. We can also add typical activities performed in all the secondary libraries (i.e. budgeting, prepping the library, preparing equipment for checkout, etc.)
