I am somewhat intrigued to see all of the discussion about the Public Libraries open forum. I am a long time member of ARLIS/NA and will be starting a new position next week as an art librarian for a public library. I am looking forward to going to the NYC conference, to reconnect with ARLIS/NA and to investigate what resources/sessions are available for public librarians. Even with the dissolution of the public library division, I am hopeful that the open forum will bring positive results!
