                Greetings !Welcome to the web site that keeps Oregon's library community informed about events and issues important to association members, libraries, library trustees, and friends of libraries across the state. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OLA COVID-19 Pandemic Resource List The OLA Facebook page admins have been posting a nightly COVID-19 pandemic resource list. We appreciate how well the lists have been received, and this has provided the confidence to post one here. Last night's post had categories that include news & health, mental health resources, masks & mask making, spring into action, libraries, literary quotes, John Prine, and self-care. Older posts can be read for mask making instructions from household materials. Library workers can evaluate the resources for themselves, take what they need, and leave the rest. We say this because we are not experts, we are just trying to contribute and stay busy. (We are generalists, and don't want to argue with anyone.) Below the signature is last night's list, hopefully it renders legibly. We don't know how long these lists will continue, but for now it's all we can do. A sign off one evening from KGW news was 'Stay vigilant. Stay safe. Stay home.' Makes sense.

If you have scheduled, or need to schedule, library-related meetings with participants numbering above the amount allowed by the free Zoom version, or are longer than 40 minutes in duration, there is a form available for Zoom scheduling requests on the OLA website. OLA's instances can accommodate up to 100 participants. Click here to schedule a virtual meeting. Shirley Roberts is able to assist with any questions. [email protected]
