L2B has served as a common location for sharing virtual events and training of benefit to business owners, entrepreneurs and jobseekers statewide.

Members use Alignable to get the industry answers they need, connect within their local business community or across the country, and increase buzz for their business. For libraries, Alignable is an opportunity to engage with their local businesses community. Any business set up in the community they serve is a &lsquo;client&rsquo; in the context of their presence on Alignable. The platform also facilitates inter-library collaboration through the Public Libraries Group. This session provides an overview of the platform.&rdquo;<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0; text-align: left;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0; text-align: left;">In addition, we will discuss updates from the NJSL and your libraries.

Our speaker will be Shoumo Ganguly, who is a solopreneur and&nbsp; an Alignable Ambassador Mentor. He has worked with Woodbridge Public Library as well as offered training at other NJ libraries in the past, and he brings a great perspective on business needs and areas of opportunity. He will be discussing Alignable, a platform where small business owners gather to build trusted relationships.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; padding: 0; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0A0A0A; font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; padding: 0; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0A0A0A; font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">&ldquo;With more than 7 million members, and millions of connections across more than 35,000 local communities, Alignable is the online network where small business owners across North America drive leads and prospects, generate referrals, land new business, build trusted relationships, and share great advice. Members use Alignable to get the industry answers they need, connect within their local business community or across the country, and increase buzz for their business. For libraries, Alignable is an opportunity to engage with their local businesses community. Any business set up in the community they serve is a &lsquo;client&rsquo; in the context of their presence on Alignable. The platform also facilitates inter-library collaboration through the Public Libraries Group. This session provides an overview of the platform.&rdquo;<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; padding: 0; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0A0A0A; font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; padding: 0; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0A0A0A; font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">In addition, we will discuss updates from the NJSL and your libraries.

Our speaker will be Shoumo Ganguly, who is a solopreneur and&nbsp; an Alignable Ambassador Mentor. He has worked with Woodbridge Public Library as well as offered training at other NJ libraries in the past, and he brings a great perspective on business needs and areas of opportunity. He will be discussing Alignable, a platform where small business owners gather to build trusted relationships.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0; text-align: left;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0; text-align: left;">&ldquo;With more than 7 million members, and millions of connections across more than 35,000 local communities, Alignable is the online network where small business owners across North America drive leads and prospects, generate referrals, land new business, build trusted relationships, and share great advice. Members use Alignable to get the industry answers they need, connect within their local business community or across the country, and increase buzz for their business. For libraries, Alignable is an opportunity to engage with their local businesses community. Any business set up in the community they serve is a &lsquo;client&rsquo; in the context of their presence on Alignable. The platform also facilitates inter-library collaboration through the Public Libraries Group. This session provides an overview of the platform.&rdquo;<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0; text-align: left;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0; text-align: left;">In addition, we will discuss updates from the NJSL and your libraries.
