Hi Toni,

I am mailing you a thank you letter, but here is a more

informal way to thank you for your presentation last

night.

First, it was good to have a chance to get to know you

after all this time. Second, your talk was very informative -

full of more information about librarians that I imagined

was possible. My respect for their work, already high,

has increased. As you spoke, memories of my happy

experiences with libraries over the decades came to

mind - and I am amazed at how the profession has

developed. So, on behalf of 12/26, thank you so much!

Our local AI Refugee Network (RefNet)

group helps refugees here who have been denied refugee

status - to see if there is evidence somewhere that shows

that they will indeed be in danger if they are returned to

their home countries. We have used librarians in the past

to help us, but your talk suggested many more possibilities

to help with our research, which can be so difficult.

I have put your name on our Edmonton 12/26 email list.

If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate

to get in touch with me.

Gratefully,

Mary
