CORAL Newsletter & Upcoming Events

[Darling, Valerie]

Hi CORAL,

 

We’re excited to share the first CORAL newsletter! This new resource is designed to keep our community connected, highlight opportunities to get involved, and make it easy to see what’s happening across CORAL.

 

If you don’t have time to download the PDF right now, here’s a quick overview of what’s inside:

• Library Open House Kick-Off
  SwRI Library is launching our new CORAL Library Open House series with a behind-the-scenes tour featuring the library space, librarians, and highlights from the Rare Book Collection. We’re also inviting other member libraries to sign up to host future tours.
• Professional Development Award – Apply by April 30
  CORAL is offering up to $750 in reimbursement to support professional development opportunities. First-time applicants are especially encouraged. Award recipients will be announced at the Spring Meeting (date TBD).
• Dive In with CORAL: A New Monthly Member Series
  A relaxed, 30-minute monthly series designed for sharing ideas, tools, challenges, and conversations—no formal presentations required. Members can participate by sharing or simply listening.

 

We hope you’ll take a moment to explore the full newsletter and find an opportunity that speaks to you. Whether you’re joining an event, applying for funding, or just staying connected, we’re glad you’re part of CORAL.

 

 

Warmly,
The CORAL Board
