Happy Holidays!

We just wanted to take a moment to send our heartfelt thanks to all of you during this holiday season.

All the support throughout the year has been overwhelming and we look forward to hosting many events to come. So please, keep your calendars open for 2011 because we are hoping to soon give you several months worth of Deskset events. If you celebrate it, Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays to all and have a truly wonderful (and safe!) New Year.

With lots of literary cheer,

The Chicago Deskset

Game Night

Hi all,

When is the last time you hung out at the arcade? Come to Chicago Deskset’s game night at Dave & Buster’s. This is very low key — just games, beer and some time to hang out with your fellow Desksetters. Think of it as networking…with some DDR thrown in the mix.

We will meet up Friday, November 5th, after we have all finished work for the week. We can meet up out front at 7:30PM. If you show up late, no problem! Just wander around until you find Adam battling Tony at Star Wars Pod Racing :)

You can RSVP to the Facebook event and tell your friends! All are invited.

Hope to see you there!

Open call for participation!

The Chicago Deskset invites you to participate in the next phase of our mission to unite
Chicago librarians through civic librarianship and fundraising.

We have asked many of you about the skills that you have and what areas you would like
to participate in.

We will be nominating group members and leaders in the following areas:


  • Charity Liaison Group
  • Events and Spaces Group
  • Professional Development Activities
  • Marketing Group

In order to make the most progress in each group we will collect volunteers until June
18th.

To participate, please send an email to chicagodeskset@gmail.com
Include one of the group titles in your subject line.

After the 18th, we will help to organize a meeting between volunteers. Some meetings
will be held virtually and it is not necessary to attend every meeting. We anticipate that
due to group size, no volunteer will be expected to spend more than a couple of hours per
month on group tasks.

This is your chance to make Chicago Deskset work for you and your community, so be
sure to let us know how you would like to help!

As always, feel free to post comments or questions via:
