Before she left last spring, our 2021-2022 co-chair Sadie Davenport had this to say about the group:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI saw a group of students who worked well together, stayed up-to-date on current library trends, actively used leadership skills, and were friends! I was living alone when I first came aboard, and I wanted to meet more people, especially library people. And so I got a sense of community in the first ALASC meeting I attended, because there were lots of students all together laughing and talking and sharing fun news.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
