There are about 40 in the three-year distance education program that started in the fall. The first birthday celebrations for the Tennessee Electronic Library were an overwhelming success. The Gale Group mailed out packets of birthday party supplies to all libraries in the state. During the Southern Festival of Books in Nashville, October 13-15, the TEL booth provided demonstrations of TEL and on Saturday, Dr. Ed Gleaves cut the cake. Litherland said that the Committee is still trying to move toward an Executive Director.
Much help is needed to get advocates to the function.
Margaret Ann Robinson, an advocate, will be the speaker for Legislative Day. The next meeting of the Board of Directors will be March 3. Present were Tena Litherland, who presided, Chuck Sherrill, Lynn Lilley, Faith Holdredge, and Betty Nance. Minutes of the TLA Board of Directors and Executive Committee will be posted on TLA-L. Nance will send the minutes to Webmaster DeAnne Luck. An honorarium should be sent to Kelly Hensley for the two issues of Tennessee Librarian she edited.
