CLC March 2008 Roundtables:

 

CLC's roundtables are a wonderful opportunity for people from different
libraries but with similar responsibilities and interests to come together
to share knowledge and ideas about a variety of professional topics. These
roundtables are open to all librarians regardless of geographic location or
job title!

 

CLC's Snow Policy (except where noted):

If school is delayed in the town hosting the event, the event will go on as
scheduled. If school is cancelled in the host town, the event will be
postponed to the snow date.
