Lightning Talk: Failing Forward (In-Person) RCLS HQ, 619 Rte 17M, Middletown, NY 10940 Thursday, August 21, 2025 2:00pm - 3:30pm Not every program, event or policy is a roaring success. Sometimes they just do not work out the way we hoped. Sometimes they can be a quiet disaster. This Lightning Talk is going to provide a space where you can share those experiences and turn them into learning gold for your colleagues. In turn, we hope participants will discover they are not alone, and the power of library community can overcome any challenges. |

Welcome Sunshine Hall (Eldred) Library Director Melissa Reid Melissa was the manager of the Delaware Free Branch of the Western Sullivan Public Library in Callicoon, NY from 2015-2020.

In her previous life she was a Writer, Graphic Designer, Proof-Reader and Editorial Coordinator and most recently a stay-at-home mom and champion of learning, creativity and imagination.

In my free time, I enjoy going on outdoor adventures with my daughter Sophia and our mischievous entourage consisting of Oliver and Odin (our cats) and Freya (our very big dog) who follow us everywhere we go." |
