The Library of Congress celebrates its 200th Birthday on April 24, and the New Mexico Library Association Conference will be on April 26-28. The budget proposal, House Bill 2, is similar to the bill passed during the regular session and vetoed by the Governor. Attendees to the conference are encouraged to attend this open hearing of the Commission to enter into discussions with questions, suggestions, and comments. The prep session costs nothing and gives participants a preview of what to expect in the exam. The application and fee for taking the examination must be post marked no later than April 28.
Participants are responsible for their own lunch plans.
There are several places to eat within walking distance of the library, or you can bring your own lunch. The corporations contribute their overstock products and earn a federal tax deduction. The merchandise itself is free. Members choose what they need from a 250-page catalog published every ten weeks. Recent donations include office and computer supplies, software, audio and video tapes, books, exhibit materials, toys, arts and crafts, janitorial supplies, hand tools, clothing, light fixtures, and holiday decorations.
