LibraryLinkNJ strives to create continuing education opportunities that fit the needs of library staff members in all positions, from all library types. LibraryLinkNJ offers workshops on a wide variety of current library topics and in many areas of professional development, both in-person and online via webinars.
CE Certificates
LibraryLinkNJ no longer automatically issues CE Certificates to all class or webinar attendees. Certificates of attendance and certificates reflecting Continuing Education credits (where applicable) are available upon request. Certificates are issued for live attendance at in-person events or webinars; certificates will not be issued to those who watch a recorded webinar. If you need a certificate, please reach out to the LLNJ Continuing Education team at Email.

Fees & Payment
Free Opportunities
It is the goal of our Continuing Education team to make professional development and networking opportunities as accessible as possible to all members of the NJ library community. Therefore, most of our continuing education opportunities are fully subsidized by LLNJ and offered free of charge. When that’s the case, you’ll find it clearly stated in the program information on the event page.
Paid Opportunities
Some continuing education opportunities do require a fee for attendance, and registration fees do vary. Cost information for those events will be clearly stated in the program information on the event page. After you’ve registered for a paid opportunity, an invoice will be emailed or mailed, utilizing the contact information associated with your LLNJ user account. The invoice will come from the LLNJ Billing Department.
Please send payment (purchase order and/or check payable to LibraryLinkNJ) to: LibraryLinkNJ, 2300 Stuyvesant Ave, Trenton, NJ 08618
