Hi Everyone,

Great to see that there is an active community in the Librarian group
that is enthusiast about Community Networks.
We have been also present in the IFLA-LAC meeting in Chile in March,
and are open for other meetings that can help raise awareness of this
topic around the Librarian community.

Regards,
