Our team's Lisa Varga was thrilled to be in Virginia for a screening of the new film "The Librarians", along with staff and leaders from the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library and library workers from across the state (many from the VA Library Association). Thank you JMRL for a wonderful event!

Officially en route to #VLA2025 from LGA airport. The journey from my door to the conference center should take 5 hours. In other words, likely two hours less than anyone driving there on 95 from NoVA
