    Hey, folks - 

    Just want to make sure this post from NMRt is on your radar - they are looking for mentors:

    The New Members Roundtable's Mentoring Committee is looking for Mentors for our Career Mentoring program! 

    The Career Mentoring program connects newer librarians with a seasoned librarian for a mentoring relationship relating to career development in librarianship. This year it will run from March–July 2025 (capping off with ALA's annual conference!). If you feel you have wisdom to share and are interested in participating, please fill out our form to get started. Deadline for volunteering as a mentor is Sunday, February 16, 2025. 

    Questions? Contact the Chair, Emily Cranwell Deinert at edeinert@umd.edu

    (The mentee interest form will go out later in Feb. 2025 -- be on the lookout!)
