The Mechanics' Institute will be quite busy this November! We are proud to be hosting the fourth Independent Libraries and Mechanics’ Institutes Worldwide Conference over November 4-6, and the annual Membership Libraries Group meeting on November 7.
Reinvention: Thriving in the 21st Century, as the conference is entitled, is a conference designed for practitioners of independent and subscription Libraries, Mechanics' Institutes, Athenaeums and membership based non-profits world wide. The conference’s program will present practical skills to aid these organizations with planning for the future. Thus far our guests include folks from Australia, the UK, Canada, and the U.S!
Fear not, the Institute as a whole, and the Library will remain open as usual and services will not be disrupted except for:
• On Friday, November 4 the 2nd Floor Reading Room will close at 4:00 pm
• The classrooms on the 3rd floor will be closed Friday November 4 through
Sunday November 6.
• The 4th floor meeting room will be closed from Thursday November 3
