Technology Fair Kick-Off

2007-05-04T11:00:00.000-07:00

As a special kick-off to the Maryland Libraries Learning 2.0 project, HCPL is sponsoring a Technology Fair, June 6th and June 13th, for all staff. (Staff only have to attend one 3-hour session on either day.) Sign-up for the Technology Fair is with the receptionist at Riverside. For anyone who hasn't registered for Learning 2.0 by then, there will be additional opportunities to sign up Maryland Libraries Learning 2.0 at the Fair itself.

You can, however, register for MD Libraries Learning 2.0 before June 4th. If you'd like to register now, please be sure to review the first post on this page (below) and follow the links to "register" for MD Libraries Learning 2.0.
