In an effort to help grow community, I created a new Facebook group in hopes that library folks in Washington, Oregon, Western Canada, etc would come together and help create dialogue about how we can continue to grow and support libraries in our region.

Get to know about local places in your city from the back door! Do you know the feeling when you walked into a new place that felt like home? You felt embraced and welcomed.
