And just like that, we’re back! Inspired by my third grader students, who are currently writing “hopes and dreams” poems, I’d like to share my hopes and dreams for HVLA this year.
I hope for a great year of reconnection,
Of being together, to celebrate and to learn.
I dream of reviving clubs that have lost touch–
the HVLA book club, field trips and craft nights, our retiree and solo librarian groups.
I hope for more valuable time together,
With a return to in-person meetings, both professionally and socially.
I dream of an organization that is by its members, for its members;
Not a dream, but a reality.
I hope we can move forward,
To evaluate what serves us, and what we’d like to leave behind.
I dream of all this and more in the wonderful year to come.
In the spirit of these hopes, look out for the HVLA membership survey towards the end of September, once we have (hopefully) settled back into our school routines. We’d love to hear how best to serve you.
If you have not renewed your membership yet, you can do so here.
Let’s have a great year together.
Warmly,
Christine Nassar
HVLA President
