FROM          :         Tamara Rorie, Head, Patron Engagement Section

SUBJECT     :         NLS launches quarterly Patron Corner programming



As part of the Patron Engagement Section’s (PES) mission to offer services,
resources, and programs to enrich the library experience for patrons, PES
will host a quarterly Patron Corner virtual event where patrons can learn
more about various services directly from NLS staff. Beginning in June
2022, the quarterly Patron Corner will occur on the second Monday of the
third month of each quarter. The first four sessions will be June 13, 2022;
September 12, 2022; December 12, 2022; and March 13, 2023.

PES will promote the first Patron Corner through NLS channels, but we also
ask that network libraries promote this programming through your channels
by sharing the following announcement with your patrons:

On June 13, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time, the Patron Engagement Section at the
National Library Service (NLS) for the Blind and Print Disabled at the
Library of Congress will hold the first event as part of their Patron
Corner programming. Each quarterly program will provide an opportunity for
patrons to learn more about various services directly from NLS staff. The
program will be interactive, last for one hour, and have a designated topic
of discussion. The topic for the June 13 session is Everything You Always
Wanted to Know about Collection Selection, but Did Not Have the Vehicle to
Ask. Our guests will be members of the Collections Division at NLS who are
responsible for selecting the books in the NLS collection. Bring your
questions and your thoughts about the NLS collection and join us at
https://loc.zoomgov.com/j/1600983343?pwd=VW9tRWtwY3BsdHRac0s2MmJkN0RCZz09.
The full Zoom invitation, including call-in numbers, is included below.



When you join this Zoom event, you will be in the waiting room until the
program starts. When you enter the room, your phone or computer will be

during the session.
