NYLA Advocacy Day

Advocacy Day Handout: Advocacy materials are distributed to Advocacy Day attendees to use in their meetings with legislators and staff.

Polaris 5.0 Training for Library Staff

With the upgrade to Polaris 5.0 coming February 10th, there are a few new features to explore. I will be having a training to share these new features with library staff on Thursday, February 5th at 10:00am here in the SALS’s training lab. (The snow date will be February 9th at 10:00am.)

If you cannot make it to SALS, I can set up a GoToMeeting session for you to attend virtually from your own computer. (This training will not be recorded.)

Please contact Jill Ryder by January 30th to let her know if you and your staff are attending.
