- Take 3 minutes (and no more) to tell the group some ways that your library or you personally are "getting hands dirty" - it may involve going where the users are, trying innovative service, keeping something that has worked well for years, collaborationg with different parts of the community, putting the library "out there" in the community, trying new tools, stepping outside of the traditional role.
