End of the Year Happy Hour and Elections

Are you interested in a simple, fun way to build your resume and network among library professionals in MN?

If so, you should consider becoming a St. Kate's SLA officer.

On Thursday, May 8 at 6 p.m. we will meet at the Happy Gnome in St. Paul to elect officers for next year and plan for the group's future.

Being an officer is a rewarding experience. You have the opportunity to raise money for scholarships. You can set up library tours. You get to participate in the MN SLA's board meetings and work closely with other members on the state level. The experience and contacts you'll make will be invaluable and it's not overly time consuming despite your biggest fears. With about a meeting a month, we were able to set up a library tour each semester, a few happy hours during each semester and plan our fundraising activities.

Even if you haven't been able to attend any of the meetings so far or can't make Thursday's Happy Hour, you are still eligible to become an officer.

If you are interested, please send your name, contact information and a brief explanation of what you would like to accomplish and what position you'd like to fill to krista_angers@comcast.net even if you can't be there on May 8. We can still find a place for you.

Please check out our website for positions and committees.
