NY 3Rs Registration System Reboot

The registration system at ny3rs.org had a reboot on Friday, February 20th due to a malfunction. What this may mean for you: If you already registered for the next Tech Topic webinar to be held on March 23rd (topic: RIFD), you will need to re-register. If you did not register, it is a great time to do so because it will be a great program! In either case, to register follow this link. 

 

Library Advocacy

Advocacy is an on-going process of relationship-building and articulating and demonstrating need. We hope that you will join us for Advocacy Day in Albany this coming week on Wednesday, February 25. If you cannot make it to Albany, you can still help the cause. NYLA suggests posting to your Facebook wall, Tweeting about Library Aid, or adding a button to your library's website. Check out their page dedicated to  Virtual Library Advocacy.
