I just got off the phone with her as an information gathering meeting to discuss what they could offer. Their basic plan for other groups has been to provide them with one book a month to raffle off to generate income. However, when I asked about the possibility of having them donate books to seed a small library for the space she was completely on board with it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>She asked me to send her about 5 titles we would be interested in having and she would send them to us right away. They can be any title they publish. I told her I would run it by the keyholders and collect titles if we want to accept the offer.</div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://manning.com/" target="_blank">http://manning.com/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Are there any objections to this? They are trying to get their books out there and establish good will with groups like Py-CU (and Makerspace, when I told her about it), and didn't have any advert requirements.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I also let her know about the Maker Fest and she is very interested in having Manning sponsor it in all possible ways and assist with advertising for the event. I told her I would run the offer by the org group for the fest and let you guys get in contact with her if interested. Her name is Candice and her email is <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;white-space:nowrap"><a href="mailto:cagi@manning.com" target="_blank">cagi@manning.com</a>. </span></div>
<div><br></div><div>Again, this was just an informational call with nothing agreed to. However, I'm really excited for it and think that this is a partnership that could offer a lot for us in the future.</div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;white-space:nowrap"><br>
