Each will talk briefly about their experiences in libraries and with library education. Anyone who may be considering further library education is encouraged to attend. The chapter would like to start an educational grant fund, but to do this, it needs money, and will be conducting fundraising activities. This spring, the chapter plans to raffle several prizes, including books relating to Spanish-speaking countries and people. If you are interested in membership in the New Mexico chapter , please use the membership form available on the web site.
