Virtual Opportunities:
A great way to socialize with other MLA members is via Facebook.
Regional Groups
Many of you have expressed interest in regional opportunities to network and socialize with other librarians. “Librarians Who Lunch”, a concept that got rolling in late 2009, is about librarians of all types getting together to eat, imbibe, and socialize. No agenda (and no MLA membership required) -just excellent opportunities for you to chat about all things Library Land!
Feel free to join any of the following networking groups around the state. More are springing up every day:
