NJLA Diversity & Outreach Section's inaugural tweet

Paulsboro's Gill Memorial Library recently opened a major expansion that marries the town’s industrial history with modern technology, winning effusive praise from the mayor: "Our kids needed this. Our old library did the job, but it wasn't up to date. This shows you taxpayer money spent well."

We organized a TechFest event for the two New Jersey-based chapters of the Special Library Association. Learn all about this learning model with a lovely write-up from one of their members.
