There will be plenty of face time and networking opportunities throughout the day with colleagues.
This event is open to all librarians, library board or foundation members, alumni, community members, CMS teachers and librarians. Anyone interested in learning more about makerspaces. If you are an vendor, maker or librarian and would like to speak about your work please contact Dr. ChantellMcDowell cmcdowell@jcsu.edu
