DIRECTOR'S CUP
Cheery Friday Greetings,
Thanks to everyone who attended today’s annual meeting!
The presentations were fantastic--informative and inspirational. Thanks to Dr. Michael Stephens, State Librarian Lauren Moore, Assembly Member Dr. Anna Kelles, and SCRLC's Digital Services Librarian, Claire Lovell! Thanks to SCRLC's Jessica Philippe and Diane Capalongo for their monitoring and behind-the-scenes support!
One happy part of the annual meeting is being being able to present awards. This year, we presented two awards:
Neyda Gilman and Jen Embree of Binghamton University received the Sustainability Award for creating a Sustainability Hub on campus and the many collaborations they have created with campus and community groups, including the establishment of a Terracylcing station to provide community members with an opportunity to recycle hard-to-recycle items, a pollinator garden, and many more. Visit their online Sustainability Hub.
Congratulations to Erika, Jen, and Neyda! More information about our award winners will follow next week!
There are a few more updates for you today:
-
ARPA Museum-Library Partnership Grants (up to $12,000). We are extending the deadline to apply until November 1. Here is the link. If you cannot access it or have questions, please contact Claire for a PDF version.

NEW COLLECTION
Bill Hecht is well known to Cayuga County and Onondaga County historical societies for donating his time and energy in scanning their collections for them. He's proven to be a great ambassador for local history, sharing and celebrating the collections and lesser-known stories of places like Auburn, Skaneateles, Genoa, Union Springs, Aurora and Moravia.
He's also an avid aerial photographer, and has traveled around Cayuga County with his drone in hand through the fall of 2015 and spring of 2016. This collection includes over two hundred images of the village of Aurora with the lovely Wells College campus, Moravia, Union Springs, Auburn, as well as neighborhoods and farmlands of Genoa.
