  • Hello to the 28 members listed on the Georgia Church Librarians' Group!
    Please tell me if this group ever has any physical meetings or conferences or even Zoom Meetings. I would love to be able to get together with fellow Georgia Church Librarians to share ideas, and eventually, even organize a conference. If you are interested in a Zoom Meeting in January 2024 to get some kind of organization or leadership in this group, please message me back. I see Tennessee, Alabama, and Virginia all have active groups that have a few conferences throughout the year. Anyone interested? Thanks, Amy
  • I have just recently become the volunteer church librarian at Duluth First United Methodist Church, Duluth GA. How do I join this group? I am already a member of Church Librarians Network. Thank you.
    • Amy, problem solved! I learned that at some point all of our groups we were reset during an upgrade in NING with "no new members" so I just changed it for the Georgia group to be open to "Anyone" who is a member of the CLN. You may join now! Be sure to let me know if it still does not work. Thanks for your patience!

    • Just click on the Join Us button above.
    • Morlee, there is not a Join Us Button anywhere on the Georgia Church Library Group page. Thank you.
    • Thank you for pointing that out. Turns out all the group pages are like this one too. I sent in a work request to NING. I'll keep you posted.
      THANKS!
      Morlee
    • The NING Help Desk pointed out what I needed to do. I have opened the Georgia group to new members. Over the next few days I will open all the groups.
      Thanks! Morlee
  • Tennessee would like to invite you to attend any of our four Carnival of Ideas Training Events in September and October. Why not plan a road trip to Chattanooga, Nashville, Knoxville or Memphis and join us for a day? We would love to have you. Information on the Events page or at www.tnbaptist.org. (Just search for library for a listing of classes offered and registration information.)

  • If you can't make the TN. events. Make a road trip to Talladega, Al. and attend the Al. Library Conference Sept 19-21, 2011. There is still time to make arrangements. We would love to see you there.

We've had AutoLibrarian for a number of years...without any kind of support, even when we were paying for it.  So now I'm looking to upgrade and am pretty interested in going with Atriuum Express by BookSystems.  We have over 3000 items and about 300 patron families.Comments, both pro and con please!
