MIDDLESEX

This meetup is open to any library staff interested in discussing and exploring LGBTQ/library issues. More information will be posted soon!

Registration is now open for the MentorNJ Technology Meetups for the first half of 2019!

MentorNJ Meetups are an opportunity for interested library staff, at any level, to get together informally and discuss issues, ask questions, seek guidance, and learn more about various different topics related to libraries and library work. These particular meetups focus on technology in libraries, so from ILS systems, to social media, to IT issues, to makerspaces, to workshops and tech sessions, and much more, any topic related to technology and libraries is fair game.

All meeting notes are documented in real time and shared with attendees, as well as made publically available on the past meet-ups list (where you can right now find archived notes from all of last years meetings).

OBPL is happy to host again--we're conveniently located in Central New Jersey, a real place--but we're also looking to take this show on the road to libraries around the state so that everyone has a chance to attend; if you're interested in hosting, let me know and we can work something out.
