This month we’re focusing on Get Involved Regional network meetings that are being held around the state -- two in May (Roseville and Ontario) and one in June in the Bay Area.
These meetings are developed and run by regional Get Involved leaders, with some financial support from the state library to reimburse library participants’ mileage. Meeting topic, registration and contact information are provided with each. Each regional team is looking for additional folks to step up to assist in organizing these. Please make your interest know to the contact person!
