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!

Professional development is learning from dynamic speakers and informative handouts. But it’s also more than that. The NJLA Conference experience is about connecting, collaborating, and socializing with people outside of your typical professional network. It’s about making friends, exploring new ideas, and engaging with your fellow librarians and library professionals.

To enhance these opportunities and foster new relationships, we encourage our colleagues from outside of New Jersey to attend our annual Conference. Featured keynote speakers this year will be public innovator Rich Harwood and librarian/technologist Jason Griffey, plus a president’s program with WCBS radio personality Joe Connolly, a "Librarians on the Edge of Fashion" show, and much, much more! See our schedule for a full listing of program sessions and special events.

So come down (or up) to the Jersey Shore this April, stay at the newly renovated Ocean Place Resort and Spa, and be a part of the New Jersey Library Association. If only for a few days. Register today! Early bird rate ends on March 30.
