Starting next week, CLC is excited to launch Neighboring Library Networks - a new series of in-person regional gatherings designed to bring together all types of libraries: public, school, academic, and special.

These roundtables are all about connection and collaboration. Whether you're looking to share ideas, learn what your peers are working on, or talk through local challenges, these sessions are a chance to come together as neighbors—and strengthen library service across your community.

There are no hard borders!
Each Neighboring Library Network is tied to a region of Connecticut, but you’re welcome to attend whichever session(s) make the most sense for you—geographically, professionally, or personally. If your work spans multiple areas or you simply want to connect more broadly, feel free to join more than one!

We hope you'll join us to:
