<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Baskerville",serif">Hope you’re doing well. I have some slightly unfortunate news for you – it looks like the Library double booked us! They’ll need to occupy the Main Community Room on Friday, May 2<sup>nd</sup>
at night. So, instead, they have offered to move our event upstairs to the third floor of the library where they have a reading room equipped with a large TV screen to do the talk instead. With it being last minute I think this is our only viable option and
I hope it doesn’t impact your talk too much! I’ll endeavor to have a lectern or similar up there and we’ll have a computer set up with the TV ready to display. We’ll arrange the seating up there as best we can and the nice thing is that the library will be
closed at that time so it won’t be too noisy up there. We’ll have a library staff member with us to help get folks into the building and to the room upstairs. So I’m sorry it won’t be ideal but I think it will still be a very workable solution and at least
I know the talk content will be great regardless! We’ll continue spreading the word on our end (including the attached flyer you’re welcome to spread around UCR) but if you have any questions or concerns please let me know.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
