Descriptions

Everyone in the New Jersey library community is welcome to attend!

Asian & Pacific Islander (API) library & workers are invited to come together to build community, to share and care for each other. Library workers who do not identify as API, but desire to grow their understanding of API issues and to become our allies are also welcome to attend.

Discussion Leaders: Mimi Hui, Hasbrouck Heights Public Library

API In-Person Meet-up, ​Thursday, October 2, 2025, 1pm-3pm
@ South Plainfield Public Library
2484 Plainfield Ave, South Plainfield, NJ 07080
Directions

This meet-up is open to everyone -- not just API library staff!

Come and network with your Asian & Pacific Islander (API) colleagues and enjoy informal conversation over some delicious finger food! Join us for a two-hour special meet-up to learn interesting insights (though no guarantee they’re useful!) and etiquette about API culture, all while enjoying interactive fun activities.

Due to limited space and food preparation, registration is limited to 75 people. Please register using the Google Form link below, which does not require an account login. Please register by Thursday, September 25, if you can. This will give us enough time for proper food preparation.
Register now!

This meet-up is hosted by South Plainfield Public Library, MentorNJ, and LibraryLinkNJ
