More RMSLA chatter…

Rachel took down copious notes at the well-attended happy hour organized by Connie.  Natalia is a business librarian rockstar; Karen is an accidental archivist.  Anne rocked a bit of purple hair, and Barbara tried the red sangria.  Sara and Joan discussed fun librarian pins, while Eileen chatted reference.  Donna is headed for digital collections, and David is representing special librarians with CLiC.

Don’t miss a great opportunity to quaff some tasty ballpark libations in the company of Special Librarians and their entourages. Great Times!
