BLC Networking Day
The BLC Networking Day, typically held in the late spring, is an opportunity for all of the BLC member libraries to come together to meet new colleagues, catch up with others, hear news of the BLC's work over the past year, and discuss issues of importance to academic and research libraries. Networking Day typically includes a series of lightning talks by BLC member libraries focusing on current and emerging initiatives and programs, a keynote speaker, and in-person meetings of all the Communities of Interest.
