Strategic Partnerships

Strategic Partnership Opportunities

NJLA is excited about the transition from our traditional Commercial Memberships to more enhanced and robust participation through Strategic Partnerships. With many opportunities for engagement with the NJLA community throughout the year, we want to be sure that your membership provides you with elevated visibility beyond your Annual Conference experiences.

Review the different levels of engagement below to learn more about how involved you can be with NJLA membership, and how you can play a role in supporting and enacting change, growth, inclusion, and progress within the library community--while also increasing communication about your unique services and vision!

To receive the full benefits of the 2024 Conference, please sponsor by Friday, April 5, 2024.
