Roundtables are an informal and unique opportunity for library staff to gather for networking, sharing ideas, problem-solving, and fostering a sense of community. CLC sponsors over 30 roundtables, which are run by volunteer chairs from the Connecticut library community with support from CLC. Each group is focused on a particular job function (children's services, interlibrary loan, reference & instruction, business services) library type, special interest (gaming, storytelling, social justice, LGBTQ+), or job title (directors). Explore our roundtables - there's sure to be a group for you!
