AND THE WINNER IS?!

As a NJ librarian, I look forward to attending the NJLA Conference each year. It’s a great way to catch up with fellow colleagues, network, learn new ideas, and come back to my library feeling refreshed and ready to start a great summer at my library.

Program Spotlight from the Reference Section

I know I am personally very excited for this year’s NJLA Annual Conference, and in particular the many networking and sessions opportunities where we can all speak freely, share ideas, address challenges, and explore areas of our work that may not always be the most comfortable.The NJLA Conference is a time for us to connect, reflect and embrace each other’s ideas and differences, while challenging the status quo in moving our profession forward.

Happy Holidays from the Conference Committee!

Hanukkah has begun, and Christmas is only 12 days away! Happy Holidays from the NJLA Conference Committee, and we hope that everyone’s holiday season brings them family, good food, and cheer.

Conference committee has braved the weather, snow and all, and met and discussed conference proposals before the holiday season. However, notices will not go out until sometime mid-January, and we cannot comment on whether proposals were accepted or not until then. This gives time for some proposals to be reworked, for sponsors to be added, and for speakers to be confirmed.
