Library MakerFest: Table Registration 

Table registration closes Wednesday, April 25!
 
Are you interested in showing off your Maker stuff at Library MakerFest? There are only a limited number of tables available for presenters.

You can choose to simply staff a booth showing off your projects (like at a conference poster session) in our Showcase or join in the fun in Maker's Row where you will provide take-home projects for attendees to experience!

Whatever your choice, don't let time run out! The table registration deadline of Wednesday, April 25 is rapidly approaching! Click HERE to register now!
   
Apply Now for SSLLI Year 15

If you are looking for an opportunity to grow personally and professionally, step forward in your career, and develop strengths you didn't know you had, consider applying for the Sunshine State Library Leadership Institute.

In year 15 of the Institute (beginning in October 2018), participants will meet at one of two locations: Cooper Memorial Library in Lake County (north of Orlando) and East County Regional Library near Fort Myers. Applications are available now through June 15th.  
 
Wondering if it's for you?  The Institute's best spokespeople are its participants, and NEFLIN member Kelly Bohannon, Clay County Public Library, couldn't have said it better:
 
"Even though the program is only at its halfway mark, I have gained so much knowledge that has already benefited myself as well as my staff. The leadership project that we work on for the duration of the class has introduced me to a new segment of our community and I have made some great friends who have begun to support our library in new ways.

I was told by another colleague when he heard I was accepted to SSLLI that it would change my life. I feel like my outlook has changed and I do feel an ownership of my position in a way I hadn't before. The future is bright and I can make my library a better place."
 
Spring Interest Groups Meetings Underway 
 
Spring Interest Group meetings
are kicking off next week with the    
Management (4/24),   
Technical Services (4/25), and
Teen Services (4/26) groups.  
  
 
There's an Interest Group for everyone, so register for these  or one of the nine other group meetings scheduled between April and June. 
 
Children's Services folks:
Y our meeting will be held this  quarter at the Library Makerfest
on May 4th.  Come enjoy the festival and a lunch meeting with your colleagues - lunch is on NEFLIN!  Just register for the May 4th meeting as you normally would.

Please Note: 
Online Interest Groups are more effective when all attendees can chat with each other as if they were face-to-face.

Need a headset to help make this happen?
Email [email protected] and NEFLIN will be glad to provide one for you.

Class

Tuesday, May 29 and Wednesday, May 30
2:00 - 3:30 PM

Think about all the people you encounter on a daily basis using your library to look for jobs - wouldn't it be great to give them better results and make the process easier for yourself at the same time? 

This two part webinar from Linda Bruno will share some of the best ways to help these customers improve their lives. You'll gain knowledge on helping them with the process from finding opportunities, creating resumes and on through to better interviewing skills.
