Greetings Colleagues, I trust you’re well. Today I’m celebrating the October 24-26 HBCU Library Alliance 4th Biennial Membership Meeting and the 57 member institutions that have registered! Preceding the Membership Meeting on October 23-24 is the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation sponsored "Pre-conference on Advocacy." The pre-conference and membership meeting will feature sessions designed to stimulate discussion on relevant issues in librarianship. As the membership will gather in Montgomery, AL, we invite you to join us on Monday afternoon, October 25th, for a narrated 2-hour bus tour of historic Civil Right sites. The tour will conclude with a brief reception at The National Center for the Study of Civil Rights and African-American Culture.
