We need photocopies for the audience. How do I accomplish that?

If your library can subsidize the photocopies, NJLA will be deeply grateful. Otherwise, either your speaker or you can have the copies made at Kinko’s or Staples and submit a form for reimbursement. Do not ask the NJLA office to make copies for the program.

We would like the seats in the room to be arranged in a different way. Is that possible?

Except for preconferences and meal functions, all rooms must be set up theater style and must remain that way. The quick turnover of programs throughout the day does not make it possible to change the arrangements of rooms.

We would like to offer refreshments at our program. Is that possible?

Our contract with the hotel specifies no outside food must be brought in. And, the per person cost of any kind of refreshment prohibits any special arrangements.

My speaker has published several books. Can he/she sell them at the conference?

There is a place on the proposal form for information about books that have been published. You will also receive an email in the beginning of 2013 for a list of currently available titles. Barnes and Noble has been the vendor at the conference, handling all sales.

How are book signings arranged?

If your speaker is a published author, you will be contacted by a member of the Conference Committee to set up a book signing.

How can I get luncheon tickets for my speaker?

Luncheon tickets are only available for speakers who are entitled to some type of reimbursement. Include a request for a luncheon ticket on the proposal form. If a request arises after the proposal date, send an email to the Conference Commitee Chairs (NJLA.Conference@gmail.com).
