Next General Meeting 3/17

Hey there SCALA-ites, it's your webmaster here! On Pittsburgh's (middle?) East Side, we often like to celebrate the changing of the seasons with a cocktail. And because librarians are so fabulous, the Denver Hyatt created a few specialty cocktails with a library theme for this year's ALA Midwinter Meeting.

Who are we to ignore the hot new thing in librarianship? In the spirit of keeping up with the trends, we'll be serving (virgin) editions of these special drinks at our next general meeting on Tuesday, March 17th at 5pm.

Be there in your St. Patrick's Day finest, because you never know what will happen at a SCALA meeting!

XOXO,
Your Trusty Webmaster
