Thank you to all of the program planners who submitted proposals for NJLA 2017! We received 105 proposals total, from 21 separate units. We appreciate the work you've put into the planning process so far, and we're excited to dive in and get all the details so we can make some decisions. 

The Conference Committee is meeting in December, we will contact program planners with questions if we need clarification, and final decisions will be made and shared in early January. But for now, breathe that sigh of relief - proposals are in, you're off the hook for now!

Once the big questions are answered -- who, what, when, and where -- the Conference Committee must focus on all of the details that make up the HOW of conferencing:

Day Three of conference lived up to all of its hype. For those of you that missed it:

We hope everyone is having as much fun as we are on Conference Committee at this year's NJLA Conference! From great preconferences, to the awesome new venue, to trivia with Stanley Newman, the first day has been a real success. We hope those of you who were unable to attend the preconference were able to enjoy the awesome virtual preconference we had to offer as well. 

Get ready to put on your thinking caps!

President's Program speaker Stanley Newman has challenged New Jersey’s library community to compete with each other during an evening of Trivia!

Mr. Newman is the editor of the Newsday Daily Crossword, and has devised an hour long trivia challenge of general knowledge and “Deductive Trivia” questions.
