DIRECTOR'S CUP
Cheery Friday Greetings!
It is hard to believe that we are nearing summer’s end, and yet our next edition of the news will be published two weeks from now in September! In the meantime, I hope that you can enjoy our fleeting, beautiful days.
At SCRLC, our planning period is beginning in earnest with the meeting of the Design Team on Tuesday, August 25. We are also in the throes of completing the annual report for the State Library and planning the annual meeting in October (it will be virtual). I wish I could give you a date to circle on the calendar—it will be finalized in time for the next News. We are also simultaneously working on individual benefits statements for the membership (i.e., the “report card”).
We continue to "library on" through the continuing pandemic. Libraries and cultural organizations are reopening in different ways; colleges and universities plans vary, as do school districts. A reminder that there are many SCRLC programs that continue to be available to you through our YouTube channel, which might be of broader help in this challenging time. They include:
Coping with stress right now can be challenging. Last year, Marconi Union’s Weightless was much-discussed in various media outlets because researchers had found it to be the most relaxing piece of music, ever. (!) There are several versions, including a 10-hour one. Here is the 31 min. version.
We continue to hold space for you in our member meetups. It is a good place to network and share with your colleagues. Please join us!
Wishing you a nice weekend,
Mary-Carol Lindbloom
Executive Director

TAKE ACTION
Check your website for accessibility
Usually the errors are simple things like "add an alternative text to this image so a person with visual impairments can have their screen reader device identify the picture for them." To fix, you'd just add something like alt="name of image" to the image in question.
If you have questions or need help assessing your website, contact Claire Lovell ( clovell@scrlc.org)
Sign the petition to keep YouTube's community captions feature

"Trackside Stories: Kathie J. Meredith Motorsports Photograph Collection"
from the International Motor Racing Research Center.
Kathie J. Meredith reported on the residents of and visitors to the Finger Lakes during her 40-year career as a regional editor, writer and photographer at the Daily Messenger newspaper in Canandaigua, New York. She attended Franklin College in Indiana as an undergraduate and received her Master’s degree in journalism from West Virginia University. From her debut at the paper in 1968, Meredith focused her interest on people, covering significant issues facing everyday citizens. A perfect fit at a locally-owned newspaper devoted to bringing community news to community people, Meredith served her community for four decades by hearing and sharing their stories.
