A Note From the
Continuing Education Coordinator

Networking is both beneficial to you and your library.  It is an opportunity to exchange ideas, meet new people, and make connections. These interactions can lead to collaborations and future advancements.

NEO-RLS offers many chances for you to network with your peers including in-person workshops and virtual networking groups.  Since 2020 it has become easier for staff to attend networking meetings.  In the past you would have to travel for a half-day event. Now you only need an hour off the desk to invest in your own staff development and learn from others in your field at the library.

We offer networking opportunities for all areas of the library. We will have a few more later this spring.
