From: Corey Halaychik <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2019 15:19:33 -0500 Tired of tithing to be a part of the profession? Have you dreamt of something better than a listserv for connecting year-round with dedicated librarians? Search no further! The League of Awesome Librarians <http://thelibrarycollective.org/awesome>, a new initiative from The Library Collective <https://www.thelibrarycollective.org/>, is here to redefine what a professional association can and should be: fun, useful, and affordable, just like everything we do! Imagine a private social network of badass librarians: like Facebook without the ads or listservs without the rambling emails or job posts. Imagine an alternative to a repetitive, outdated magazine that has fresh content weekly written by/for librarians designed to help you tackle your most pressing issues or simply just feel like you’re not alone. What if there were a real life community of peers who are there to support you, no matter where you are geographically, 24/7? This is not a dream--it’s totally real. We (your fellow librarians) have made it for you and for us! And, of course, our version is totally affordable so you don’t feel like you’re tithing to be a part of our profession. -- Thanks, Corey Corey Halaychik Co-Director The Collective [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> <[log in to unmask]> www.thelibrarycollective.org
