American Libraries Live

Donna Brice, director of the Eastern Lancaster County Library forwarded an email to me describing this exciting new series.  From the email...

"A new kind of dialogue and communication in the library world!

NEW! American Libraries Live, a free streaming video broadcast viewable from your home, library or favorite wi-fi spot. AL Live allows viewers to watch broadcasts about library issues and trends in real time and interact with hosts via a live chat, offering immediate answers to your pressing questions.
