The Delaware Valley Chapter of the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL DVC) is pleased to announce our fall event, "Empowering Library Student Workers," which will be held online on Wednesday, November 5 from 9 AM to 1 PM.

This event will be free and open to all, including attendees outside of our region. Registration will open on the ACRL DVC website in early October.

Possible topics of interest may include:
