Below are some of the events related to our Chapter, Chapter members or SLA members from the Bay Area which might be of interest.

Event: Solo Librarians Meeting on May 19th - Wednesday, May 19, 2010

The Solo Librarians of the San Andreas Chapter of SLA invite you to join them at their next meeting on Wednesday, May 19th. Anyone with an interest in libraries is welcome, including students and recent grads of the MLIS programs.

 

Nicholas Siekierski will be hosting the meeting at 6 P.M. on Wednesday, May 19th at The Hoover Institution at Stanford University (http://www.hoover.org).

 

Nick will present intriguing archival materials from the holdings of the Hoover Institution Library and Archives.  He will also discuss the history of the Hoover Institution. He is the Assistant Archivist for Exhibits and Outreach at Hoover and obtained his MLIS degree from San Jose State University in 2008.

 

Nick will meet the group at the front steps of the Hoover Tower. Food is not allowed in the archives.  If you arrive early, there are benches outside of the tower where you can eat while we wait for the whole group to assemble. A map link and parking suggestions can be found below.
