Did you know that the New Jersey Library Association (NJLA) offers a special rate for out-of-state attendees? If you live outside of New Jersey and you are a member of your own state library association, then you are eligible to attend our annual Conference at the NJLA Personal Member rate!

Preconferences offer a unique opportunity to extend the experience of a conference. While you may think, “two days is plenty of days for a conference, why do I need to extend that?”, what people often do not realize is that the sessions are very different from what you would expect on the regularly scheduled sessions.

There is a ton of really great promotion floating around featuring a complete variety of programs that will be offered at this year's Conference; we wanted to help share a sampling here!

Children's Services Section showed incredible creativity with this eye-catching map, connecting interests, programming, and librarians. 

School librarians are busier than ever. Not only are we working with more students than previous years, but we are doing so with smaller budgets, the implementation of Common Core, and necessary Student Growth Objectives . . . and that’s not even the half of it. It’s easy to feel isolated and overwhelmed. How do you meet the needs of your students and staff with so many items on your "to do" lists? We need to turn to each other and find the answers through group discussions, programs, and networking.
