If you’re planning to be at the New York Library Association conference in Saratoga in November, consider volunteering to help out. It’s a great way to meet people, give back to the association and get a voucher as a thank you.
Details below from MaryAnne Waltz:
The New York Library Association is looking for volunteers to help out at this year’s Annual Conference and Trade Show to be held in Saratoga Springs from November 2 to November 5.
