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 all NJ library staff -- not just API members!

Does your library serve large Asian & Pacific Islander (API) populations, or have you ever wondered what to do at an API restaurant? Come and network with your Asian & Pacific Islander colleagues, ask questions, and enjoy informal conversations over some delicious finger food!

Join us for a special two-hour meet-up to gain fun insights (though no guarantee they’ll be useful!) and etiquette tips  about API culture, all while taking part in interactive activities.

Due to limited space and food preparation, registration is limited to 75 people. Registration is now closed for this in-person meet-up. If you missed the  deadline, please email us at Email

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