Thank you everyone who joined us yesterday for the Fall RASCAL meeting at Visual Studies Workshop (VSW)! After a great discussion about defining workload boundaries and maintaining balance, the group went on a tour to explore VSW's fantastic collections and space.

Excited to see this project develop!

Progress is coming! Today, in coordination with Genesee Land Trust and the Town of Parma, we marked the future story trail! Again, a huge thank you for the grant funding through The Rural Library Grant powered by Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation and coordinated by the Western New York Library Resources Council - WNYLRC and Rochester Regional Library Council.
We don't have a installation date scheduled yet, but look out for that soon!

NEW: The FCC has officially published its new proposals for E-Rate, which include possible elimination of this essential program. We need to make our voices heard. You can submit a formal comment to the agency urging them to protect E-Rate, which provides broadband discounts to libraries and schools in every state.
