| Hello again from ALTA. We hope you all had a good holiday season and are getting used to placing 2025 on all documents.
Here is what has been happening in ALTA this past quarter! The Executive met monthly to determine what areas we could do some work within.
Firstly, the webpages have been lacking good, up to date information. This will hopefully be completed by the end of Q1 2025.
The second area is to continue going to system conferences and to add southern Alberta. We have been partnering with the Stronger Together Library Conference for a few years, and we are hoping to attend more conferences this coming year. We are planning to be at a library conference in your area in 2025. Please look for us at them!
Thirdly, our handouts and documentation are very old and lacking information. We hope to revamp this with relevant materials.
Starting in February, ALTA is once again hosting our Coffee Chats the second Wednesday of the month. If you have any issues or questions, please bring them to us!
Thanks, Hank Smit, President
