With the holiday season about to kick into full gear, the NJLA Conference Subcommittee would like to wish all of our fellow library workers a very happy holiday! No matter what you may celebrate, we hope you find time to spend with family, friends, and maybe curl up with a good book! Because, as we all know, the only time you get to read is holidays despite the public's popular belief "You're a librarian?! That must mean you read all the time!" Which, of course quickly prompts "the glare":

We would also like to ask you to remember NJLA in this season of giving by considering donating to the NJLA Annual Appeal. Now, if you are wondering why the Conference Subcommittee is asking you to donate; besides supporting our invaluable professional organization, this year there are two very special conference incentives:

• If you donate $75 or more, you will receive a new NJLA tote bag, a great carry-all for your conference take-aways (notes, books, NJLA store finds and all!)

• If you donate $125 or more, you will not only receive the fabulous tote bag, but you will also be invited to a special (and secret) reception at this year’s NJLA Conference.

Now if that’s not incentive enough, we don’t know what is.

So as you check off names on your gift list, please consider checking twice and adding NJLA to your gift-giving cause!

See you in 2017!
