| Business networking at the Warren Library |
The group was initially
created with the intent of sharing information with the business community
about free networking and educational opportunities, as well as news
items that would be of relevance to the small business owner and business
professional. In conjunction with the LinkedIn group, DeBerry coordinates
a year-long series of programs held at the library designed with the
business person in mind. One of the most successful programs that the Warren Township Library hosts every year is their Speed Networking Event, which provides an
opportunity to meet other business people and expand their professional
network.
The role of libraries is changing
with the times. The 21st century librarian is an information provider and the
LinkedIn group page is another means for the librarians at the
Warren branch to share and disseminate relevant and timely information
with the business professional.
In response to a recent survey
conducted by DeBerry as to how the Warren Library can better assist the
business community, a small support group to meet at the library has been
established. This group will be moderated by business veterans and Township
officials and will support new and fledgling business owners in the Warren
Watchung area. A representative from Central Jersey SCORE will also be in
attendance to answer general questions about starting a business. The group'sfirst meeting is scheduled for Wednesday January 28th at the Warren Library at
8:30 am. If you are interested in joining this group or are looking for
additional information, contact Cathy DeBerry at the Warren Township Library at
cdeberry@sclibnj.org.
The Warren Twp Library, a branch of the Somerset County Library System, is located at 42 Mountain Boulevard, Warren, NJ 07059.
