The members of the CoP are an amazing resource and in September, that was very evident. Cody in Montana asked for some advice on speaker fees for visiting speakers, Sarah in Portland asked for info on hiring a youth focused Social Worker at the library and Eric in San Francisco asked about relationships with IT. Several people chimed in with ideas and answers to these questions. If you have been wondering about some of these things too, check out the answers. If you have been wondering about something else, start a new discussion and get expert help!
