We would like to thank all members who have participated in the LibraryLinkNJ Professional Development Subsidy program in past years. As we work with our funding partners to reevaluate and refine services, we are unable to offer the Professional Development Subsidy program to member institutions in Fiscal Year 2025. We apologize for any inconvenience or impact this may have on members, and are exploring options to introduce alternative professional development services in the future. We appreciate your understanding and support. LibraryLinkNJ |
This service is for All Members of LibraryLinkNJ, The New Jersey Library Cooperative
