Small Libraries and not so small libraries have the same mission. Join us on Wednesday May 30 from 10 AM  - 1 PM for a Preconference session on Building a Future for New Jersey Libraries. As the recent effort to get the Construction Bond Act passed, advocacy is a vital part of our future. Come and hear from your colleagues who helped make this happen and build your skill set to become a better advocate for your library. Adding a Preconference session to your Conference schedule adds more time for networking and getting to know your counterparts in other small libraries. You don’t have to do it alone!

IT in a small library is challenging. Attend Want more Tech? No IT Department? No Problem! on Thursday, May 31 from 3:10 to 4 PM to hear from other libraries who have found some low cost easy solutions to providing technology in their libraries.

Funding is always an issue in small libraries, but come to this session, Visualizing Funding for Libraries: A New Data Tool from Foundation Center, in order to find out how to use this database in order to find institutional funding for your small library on Friday, June 1 from 11:30 AM to 12:20 PM.
