Hello all,

Thank you to everyone who was able to join for today’s Virtual Discussion. The recording is available here: https://youtu.be/5EckJgg4lOo

Our guests were Kenneth Lang and Marty Latman from My Networking Central. They talked about the possible ways that libraries can use MNC (https://www.mynetworkingcentral.com/), including to post events, find speakers, and locate networking groups. They are more than willing to work with libraries to grow their presence on the site in the same way that they have worked with the professional networking groups already listed. If you would like to connect with them, you can reach out through email (ken@PROTECTED and MartyLatman@PROTECTED) or LinkedIn.
