Because of popular demand the NEFLIN Board has been generous in providing another opportunity to get a free pair of NEFLIN Chucks. |
|
For those who
register for the Annual Meeting by August 15 we'll have your free pair of red Converse sneakers waiting for you that day. (For those thinking Christmas has come in July because you are getting a second pair of Chucks, unfortunately not. If you received a pair of sneakers at the 2016 Annual Meeting, you are not eligible for a second pair.)
We hope to see you on Friday, September 15, 2017, at the
Schultz Center in Jacksonville.

Raymond Neal Hired as C.E. Coordinator
|
|
We are pleased to announce the hiring of our new Continuing Education Coordinator, Raymond Neal. |
Raymond Neal is a native of South Carolina. He earned a BA in Art from Furman University and his MLIS from the University of South Carolina. Prior to joining NEFLIN, he was a librarian at Jacksonville University and Jacksonville Public Library. Most of his career has been in Special Collections. He also managed JPL's Murray Hill branch for several years.
When he isn't hard at work learning his new job, Raymond enjoys spending quality time with his lovely wife, Janice Best, a teacher and writer. He also enjoys movies, reading, traveling and watching sports, especially baseball and football (Clemson Tigers, Carolina Panthers and New York Yankees if you're curious).
He is also the initial (and reigning)
NEFLIN Librarian Olympics gold medalist. He doubts this led to his current position, but he still likes saying it.
