Parsippany-Troy Hills Public Library
Open to staff at all member libraries

Registration is now open for our Spring Networking Mixer at the Parsippany-Troy Hills Public Library on April 17. We look forward to seeing North Jersey colleagues for a lively & informative morning featuring refreshments, updates about new funding initiatives for member libraries, our new Strategic Plan and Statewide Delivery Contract, and the opportunity to catch up with all libraryland goings-on around the state.

Over the years, colleagues have asked us to offer more opportunities to gather and network in a casual setting. LibraryLinkNJ is pleased to host several opportunities to do just that around the state. We’re heading to North Jersey for our final Networking Mixer of the year.

Register today to secure your space!
