Calendar

April 22, 2021
  • READS Roundtable (Waitlist)

    April 22, 2021  10:00 am - 11:30 am
    virtual

    Library programming and outreach have changed so much in the past year. Join fellow NH library workers who have adapted programming, tried something different, made new connections in their community, and learned A LOT about Zoom. Share frustrations and successes in a small group discussion.

    Since our plan is to have a detailed conversation, space is limited. An overflow roundtable will be held Thursday April 22 for those who are waitlisted.

     To register: https://nhla38.wildapricot.org/event-4172209
