It’s time to wine down, kick off the summer and network with SCLA members!
We will be at Del Vino Vineyards (29 Norwood Rd, Northport, NY 11768) from 6-8pm.
Email Liz Hughes, lhughes@hhhlibrary.org, if you have any questions.
Stop by SCLS anytime between 10-3 pm on Tuesday, May 17 to meet with vendors, have your professional headshot taken, enjoy free breakfast or lunch, and network with your colleagues in the county. Learn how to join SCLA and meet with the different divisions and maybe even win a raffle basket! No registration necessary – all library workers welcome.
Additionally, SCLA asks that you bring a baby item, such as diapers, wipes, clothing, toiletries, etc. to be donated to Angels of Long Island in Patchogue.
