Hello all,

 

This is a reminder that we are having an NJLibsGrowBiz Virtual Discussion tomorrow, March 30 from 10-11am.

 

Here is the Zoom registration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUuf-mgrj4jGNdIMgiLdO0wivshjN0wSQmB After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

 

As part of our discussion, I will be asking if anyone has suggestions for the ARPA funds that the NJSL will be receiving.  Here is more information: https://www.njstatelib.org/news/the-american-rescue-plan-act-of-2021/

 

You are invited to send your ideas and suggestions directly to State Librarian Jen Nelson (jnelson@PROTECTED).  However, I would like to be aware of your thoughts and feedback as well.

 

I’m looking forward to seeing you all!  Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

 

Best,

Hello all,

 

The next NJLibsGrowBiz Virtual Discussion will be held on Tuesday, March 30 from 10-11am.  My apologies to anyone not available at that time, but the meeting will be recorded and shared after.  If you can’t make it but you have something that you would like me to share, please send it along.

 

Here is the Zoom registration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUuf-mgrj4jGNdIMgiLdO0wivshjN0wSQmB After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

 

As a reminder, there is no guest speaker for this meeting, so please bring your updates, questions, and ideas to share.  I will provide any updates that I have from the NJ State Library as well.

 

Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to talking with you all soon.

 

Best,

Andrea

 

 

 

Hello all,

 

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the beautiful weather this week. 

 

Here is a Doodle poll for our next virtual discussion: https://doodle.com/poll/nuh4fegtqrnucnrv?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link

 

This meeting would be an open discussion with time for updates, Q&A, idea sharing, and anything else we want to cover.  I will also share updates from the NJ State Library.  If you have any suggestions for future sessions, such as speakers or topics to cover, we can talk about those as well.  Please fill out the poll by Wednesday, March 17.

 

Secondly, this email is to gauge interest among NJLibsGrowBiz members in small business development related to legal marijuana.  I am co-chairing the Entrepreneurship and Librarianship Conference’s mini-workshop on May 27, “The Invisible Industries: Strategies and Resources for Supporting Cannabis Entrepreneurs” (https://entrelib.org/).  If anyone would like to learn more about participating in the planning committee for this event, please let me know.  Outside of that, if anyone is interested in the issue of legal marijuana and how to support business owners looking at working in this area, please let me know.  I can see about pulling in guest speakers or see what information we may want to gather that would be helpful for navigating this topic.

 

Best,

Andrea
