Why is Nebraska a member?
More for your $ than doing it as a single state (huge bargain!)
Professional artwork by well-known illustrators
Know themes 2 years in advance – can start buying items in preparation (as you run across them)
More That We Gain:
Timeline is great – get manuals in October
Professional connections with librarians from all over the U.S.
Good way to start offering SRP to teens if you haven’t before – everything you need to get started
What Did We Lose?
“Collaborative” means give & take – you will gain so much but also lose some
There are 47 state (or parts of states) members, all gave up something – local control
The benefits far outweigh the loss
