Join us for a night of celebrating and connecting with fellow information professionals! This is SLA-MN's popular annual holiday event that includes excellent hors d'oeuvres, opportunities to connect with other local special librarians and information professionals, and a silent auction organized by us, the MLIS Program's SLA Student Chapter. Proceeds from the auction support a Travel Award for one MLIS student to attend the Annual National SLA Conference, to be determined by an essay contest. We are currently in the process of soliciting donations from alumni, professionals, and businesses. We will need volunteers to help set up the silent auction on the day of the event! Please let us know if you are interested in helping with the silent auction. This year the event will be held at the beautiful James J. Hill Center in downtown St. Paul. Whether it's to support SLA, network, or enjoy the amazing setting, we hope to see you there! Click HERE to get tick
