Hi Everyone!

Long time no chat! Hope all is well! As the year comes to an end we are ramping up to our yearly wrap up email so if there is a library you can't live without hit us up on twitter and it might just make it in.

Share an article with us and if it lands in newsletter get highlighted as a contributor in the newsletter!
