Roundtables

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, business services) library type (academic libraries, special libraries), or job title (directors, department heads & supervisors). Explore our roundtables - there's sure to be a group for you!
