Over 70 staff members from the 9 member libraries of the Coastal Resource Sharing Network (CRSN) came together to enjoy the first annual CRSN All-staff Retreat on April 24, 2008. The event took place at the Tillamook County Main Library in downtown Tillamook.

The CRSN consortium serves a total population of approx. 70,000 in Tillamook and Lincoln counties in Northwest Oregon.

The retreat gave staff an opportunity to learn from one another, compare notes, and attend a number of staff-presented training sessions on a variety of topics.

Jim Scheppke, Oregon State Librarian, was on hand to give the opening talk, entitled "Oregon Public Libraries - Past, Present, and Future."
