	 <title>Tue, Nov 17, 2009	 -- 	Annual Meeting of the WMRLS Council of Members  at 10:00 AM </title> 
     
	 
	 <description><![CDATA[We urge all Western Region member libraries to attend our annual meeting, especially this year, with serious funding threats confronting Regional Library Services across the State.  The WMRLS Annual Meeting is always a great opportunity for people from our member libraries to learn what is happening at the local, regional, state and national levels.  At this meeting, a quorum of the WMRLS membership will elect an Executive Board and officers, and will be asked to approve next year’s (FY2011) budget and Plan of Service.  These documents will then be presented to the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners for official adoption. Finally, the WMRLS Annual Meeting is a great chance to meet with colleagues from libraries of all types and sizes from across the WMRLS service area. <br>
<br>Please print the documents listed on our <a href="http://www.wmrls.org/council/" target="_blank">Annual Meeting of the WMRLS Council of Members Website 
</a> to bring and review at this meeting.<a href="http://www.wmrls.org/council/" target="_blank">
